I know it's morally dubious, but I'm completely back in pirateland because of all the changes/price hikes/partitioning in the streaming space. My interests make it so I only watch 1-2 shows per platform so I'd be approaching ~100$/month.

And even if I was swimming in money, it's often easier to just download the shows I want and watch them on Plex/Jellyfin than trying to navigate the (often ad-riddled) interfaces of the various platforms and finding where the content I want is.

One example is Rick and Morty, it's made by Adult Swim, but they don't have a streaming service in Canada. It seems to be on Primevideo but under a different system than their regular content. The other way to watch it is to buy it from my cable provider (I don't have cable). So to watch a 20-minutes animated show I'd have to take a +40$ subscription.

I'm back in pirate land now that Bleach is on Disney plue and not crunchy roll. Beginning of the end for crunchy roll, the last service that really had everything in its market space

I wish Summertime Rendering would get out of Disney Plus jail. I've thought about pirating it multiple times.

Western shows get more formulaic by the day and anecdotally most of my friends that watch anime watch 98% anime and 2% occasional popular show on netflix.

Anime fans will be more likely to drop non-anime streaming services in favor of additional anime streaming services. e.g. trade Hulu for HiDive
