shocking users
Are they shocked though? It’s getting common for piracy sites to disappear or move to different domains, there are always alternatives
No but Millenial journalism needs their shiti headline writing convention…
Say Thank you they didn’t “slam” something
You know we’re right here, right?
‘Millenials are ruining headlines’ is a level of meta I’ve yet to see from that trope.
This has an implication that headlines were better before which I didn’t suggest
I see the entire article as simply a community reminder that free anime streaming is out there for interested parties.
As they continue to make life harder for paying customers more people will stop paying
My point was that making life harder for non paying customers doesn’t negate the fact that they make life harder for paying customers.
Correct they were non paying customer who were dissatisfied with the quality of service
They voted with their feet!
Instead of being an idiot and funding your enemy, they took direct action.
They deserve our respect and support
One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.
It’s always an issue of service. Make it more available. Adjust the price. Increase content availability. It’s not a rocket science problem, it’s just a problem of corporate greed, and law abuse
animeflix wasn’t even the best anime streaming site in my opinion. Sorry it’s gone, but there’s excellent options out there right now.
Please don’t mention any good anime sites, i don’t want it to be taken down due to too many users.
I doubt Lemmy has the traffic or searchibility to make that a realistic concern.
My anime site of choice is a UI nightmare filled with ads and banners. Super ugly and bloated. And it just happens to contain pretty much every animated show or movie in history. It’s been around for over a decade now. I’ve gotta think the shittiness is intentional to avoid suspicion.
Except if you’re Nintendo. They somehow managed to kill the emulating sphere.
Wouldn’t go that far… They knocked out yuzu’s money machine but i doubt it’s gone as an emulator and ryujinx exists
You are welcome
Meanwhile, I just search “watch anime online” on ddg or yandex and check around, while ublock origins does its job and ensures I don’t get harassed by ads and shit clickjack javascript (the ones where clicking anywhere opens the ad). A good pirate never makes a single port his home
EDIT: Ok, something that really caught my attention in the article: In April, (...) Japanese authorities arrested and prosecuted China-based owners of "one of the biggest illegal anime websites," B9GOOD. - Now THAT is unexpected. China complying with Japanese copyright for a change?
