I would use legal alternatives… Had they the content I want…
Right now, if I want to follow an anime in Europe? Maybe first season is in netflix, but second could be in crunchyroll (maybe), then half of the third is in an obscure and unknown service… And the other half is in Amazon prime.
I want to pay the legal alternative, what I won’t do is subscribe to 6 different streaming services a month, that won’t guarantee the availability of a show even after the first month and watching ads forcedly.
Piracy is a service problem. And with streaming, we have a huge service problem.
I also wouldn’t mind paying - for a one-time purchase. Preferrably a DRMless one, otherwise I would still download a corresponding copy for actual unrestricted use.
They nuked the comments at crunchy. Sometimes you need the information in the comments. Sometimes you need that information on every episode of an anime series because of some failure or lack of feature.
I’m gonna miss the comment section.
The comment section was actually the one thing I missed when switching to a Jellyfin setup

keep it local people. successful streaming means you got lucky, this time.
Half the shit i want to watch isn’t available on Crunchyroll, but was readily available on Anix.
Somehow a piracy platform had integration with Anilist, but something you pay for doesn’t. Plus the price only continues to rise, but the service continues to get worse too.
It’s always a service issue. People will just find different ways to achieve the same result

So here we’re gonna just shovel out all of the cheap and selectively costly licenses on our services for you to watch. All so we can proclaim VaRiEtY.
Oh that show you remembered way back when? Fuck it, don’t know or don’t care! You’ll pay for what we selected for you and you’ll enjoy it.
Braindead streaming logic.
Goodbye 9anime. We’ve had a lot of great times together.
I await the coming of 10anime.
This year feels especially brutal for media liberation. 😮💨
123movies said we should pay. Studios shouldn’t price gouge. Arrrgghh
The King is dead. Long live the King. The people going after these sites are just playing a game of whack-a-mole. New sites will always sprout up to fill in the gap.
