Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

i was going to say that they could at least have the decency to mix up how they ruin it. but then i realized Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero exist and i changed my mind, they should not innovate in the ruining industrial sector
