Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update (fandomwire.com)

Recent reports have announced that Crunchyroll, the largest anime streaming service, will be replacing Aegisub with Israeli Software, OOONA, to produce subtitles more efficiently. Anime fans across the world are disappointed with this collaboration due to Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians (via a report by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry).

Crunchyroll is also ignoring the needs of groups who require Closed Captions to understand the scenes better. They are isolating a large chunk of their audience in favor of AI-based subtitling, which defeats the point of a streaming service. Overall, this hasn’t been a great year for Crunchyroll, and this won’t be the end of it.

why not just pirate shit without a noble cause for once? You know - the old fashioned way

Impossible.

Piracy is always noble.

what are the good sources nowadays...been out of the game for awhile and it's to trust any sites promoted on any mainstreamish social networks.

like freemediaheckyeah, old reddit hub...is that still good?

ime every pirate source had 50/50 shot of turning into some virus/scam honeypot shortly after reaching high enough popularity

I mean, I basically just download anything that's not an executable. So if its a video, audio, pdf, epub, etc... I don't worry about it. Its very rare for an updated system to get infected from a random .mkv.

I just use (https://fmhy.net/torrenting) one of the torrenting aggregators because its the most comprehensive search, I found an anime that I couldn't find anywhere else because there are dead torrents with no seeders everywhere else I looked.
