Is premium crunchyroll a good way to support anime industry?
| No. The anime industry isn't a charity, just use a good adblocker on the illegal streaming sites and make the premium streaming sites compete. It's the only way to move the industry forward, and make it better for consumers.
| >>163694 no but there isn't really a lot of options.
>>163728 do this if Crunchyroll or other legal streaming service doesn't have the anime you want, but it will be more likely that we have more animes if the industry see the influx of viewers outside Japan, like if your watching a anime, it will have a slim, but greater chance of getting a second season if they know they can take advantage of the international market

JFC use https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
and stop being part of the botnet.
Torrent from some site like https://nyaa.si/ https://anidex.info/ or https://nyaa.pantsu.cat/
You will get DRM free high quality Video that will even work when you're offline.
| Yeah CR is good. Studios in the anime industry actually make slim profits on most shows and CR is very professional.
| The best way to support anime is to buy the blu-ray and merch of your favorite show. That way your money don't go into the production of shitty harem shows that should be eradicated from the planet.

How can premium streaming sites compete with websites that offer the same content for free but with no ads thanks to Ublock and Privacy Badger?
Like... there's nothing to compete with. Except I guess better datacenters or something.

| I've been thinking about it lately. Partly because the ads and pop-ups on the sites where I watch anime are annoying as hell, also because I never really paid for anime and I think it's kinda unfair(my personal opinion), and because I do have the money to pay it monthly.
