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.

And they're literally on dbzer0 that has a wiki describing every streaming site.

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.

I like aniwave and hasn't let me down.

It was a sad period to see one thing that worked so great fragment like this

But that doesn’t please the shareholders or appease the apparently ever more concerning necessity for infinitely growing profits.

Except if you're Nintendo. They somehow managed to kill the emulating sphere.
