The writing was on the wall when Tubi and Pluto appeared.
Edit: If the same anime Crunchyroll has is also available in a free ad-supported streamer, nothing much effectively changes.
There was a time when Crunchyroll worked with yt-dlp. I miss those days.
Somehow their RSS feeds are still up, but you have to watch the shows using their shitty site. They’ve become just as bad as their competitors.
Honestly, I have been considering cancelling. The price is going up and the quality is going down. Any 2-bit translator can crank out what they are putting out with raws, screenshots, and voice to text. With the resources they are gleaning, this shit should sparkle.
I’m planning to get a Jellyfin server running and filling it up using torrents
Its been less and less useful over the last few years anyway. Time to just bust out that eyepatch.
yeah its like they have had these things like mmo holiday special events with free access but they don’t allow people to search for free ad based anime so most times its pointless to even look around if anything is available. It sorta got better last year but never as good as it was with funimation which at least had a more predictable thing. Even that was not great though. Amazon actually has been upping its anime offerings and it appears to be something its going to continue to be expanding.
And i officially ended my subscription a long time ago
So I just need to make more free trial accounts then?
