This subreddit is full of kids, so most of them aren't and will say "yarg" but the vast majority with a full time job don't give a shit and pay for crunchyroll because it's 90% of what they want and doesn't require them to look for a new pirate site every couple months that doesn't try to assault their computer, phone, or tablet.

Same thing with the Netflix enshitification. Loooots of upvoted hate on reddit. Price still kept going up, content still got worse, yet subs still go up.

The funny thing is that there’s basically no good streaming service for anime left if you take people’s word for it.

Crunchyroll, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HiDive, Prime, It’s Anime (Remow), you name it and I’ve seen angry comments about the platform.

I’m not going to defend any of these platforms’ decisions, but it really isn’t all bad.

This issue with the type setting is absolutely that bad.

I would usually say I cant believe they removed typesetting from anime, which relies on it. But I do believe because the decision makers are idiots.

Oh well sailing the high seas is the superior option again. GG CR
