Fun fact: the Youtube equivalent in China, Bilibili, started out as a niche anime streaming site for weebs, which itself was a copy of a niche Japanese anime streaming site that featured “scrolling comments on screen”.

I still don’t know how that happened to be honest. There were quite a few strong competitors throughout the 2000s (Tudou, Youku etc.) but in the end it was a niche anime streaming site that took the entire market.

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.
