There's also this:

Not sure which of the two has been around longer, but looks like frontpage is also pretty slow going.

I believe they're backseat moderating given my replies to a couple other posts here recently, where I reminded people of Rule 4, where we encourage people to provide some context, opinion, or adjustment of title to encourage discussion.

See:

4. Link posts should include some context/opinion in the body text when the title is unaltered, or be titled to encourage discussion.

The aim of this rule is not to be told how to think or what opinion one should have, but exactly what it says: encourage discussion. Article/document links without any context or indication of why OP's sharing it don't really do that. It's similar to someone randomly handing out flyers or pamphlets somewhere.

In any event both of you are violating rule 2, and this makes OP's second time this week doing this, so I'll be handling this accordingly.

Pretty sure it may be Ex Machina.

Would you add some body text, context/opinion/summary, in accordance with rule 4?

Unfortunately this has Denuvo to restrict your use of your purchase. Was hoping after their first title getting criticized for this they may have changed course on that, but appears not.

Would recommend waiting till that's removed, maybe in a GOG release.

Would you add some context/opinion to the body text to bring this in line with rule 4, to better invite discussion?

Not that it hurts to have multiple active communities around a topic, but as a heads up, there's a more active variation of this community at [email protected].

Pretty much, yeah. Buried by marketing and mostly kept that way by it dominating conversations.

Been occasionally posting creative commons music and some fully free games to try to be the change I want to see.

Technically it may be, in terms of library.

However there are a few alternatives to look into that, while not matching the scale of their library, still have enough to consider.

For older anime there's Retrocrush, which offers a fair amount of shows to watch for free (but with ads), no account required. Some are only accessible with an account and via subscription, however.

Interestingly though, some of those shows are available on other services no subscription required, like Tubi or Pluto.

Speaking of, it turns out Crunchyroll apparently cut a deal with Pluto, so there's a Crunchyroll channel on there where you can catch some of their anime freely (again, with ads though). Besides that there's also a separate anime channel and a few dedicated marathon channels to more popular series like Naruto, One Piece, Sailor Moon, etc.

There's also lower amounts still to be found on the other general streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, but it obviously doesn't fully compare.

Also while not newer and their library is way smaller, for some anime movies you might see if your local libraries offer digital services like Hoopla or Kanopy. With those you may be able to check out some great anime movies.

What to call this stuff...

Jokingly:
webweb, 'cause it's a web of websites.
cross-fora, 'cause they're like cross-posts but entire forums.
newsvents, 'cause a lot of the activity is venting in news post comments. 😉
memecycling centers, 'cause it's a lot of reposts of old memes/shitposts.

Realistically:
Whatever instance/site I'm directing someone to.

Try to learn more, focus on creative/constructive approaches or outlets (not necessarily artistic in nature, but may be).

Sometimes I'll read into history for something or other and find myself mildly amused and sort of relieved to see how familiar the accounts are. Of course it would be better if they weren't so familiar, but it goes to show things aren't freshly awful. It's a lot of the same old garbage we've yet to effectively deal with, same as ever, but we have been dealing with it.

In other words, I try to take steps to regain perspective to recognize there's as much, if not at times more, good to experience than bad, and even if I struggle to find much good, I can try to make my own sort of good to keep myself going.
