 Crunchyroll is shutting down the Funimation streaming service and deleting everyone's purchased copies of stuff, while also hiking their own prices.

Stop paying for streaming media. Piracy and physical media are the only way.

 Same goes for Spotify. I don't know why some people seem to think that they're the exception. $10+/month is ONE FULL ALBUM EVERY MONTH. That's 12 albums in a year. By the time you've spent $600 on Spotify and they go under, you would have 60 albums. Five years, 60 albums, and permanent ownership. Fuck Spotify I genuinely hop on this rant at every opportunity 😂

 I am guilty of it myself. Just a few days ago, I canceled all subscriptions except the YouTube one. I had approximately 5 to 6 subscriptions active, and I wasn't even using them. It's also not worth it now.
