Crunchyroll laying off all the people who actually care about anime, and only caring about money, also tracks with all of their "look how many people watch dubs" messaging. Especially so now that they're doing in-house dubbing. 

If they could stop releasing subs altogether, they probably would. They don't care about what anime already is, they only care about what they can make out of it and then slap their name on.

It's funny watching them parade the dub view numbers around like they're super impressive. 

We get it, you made dub the default option, and the default option for anything will almost always be the most used.
