Sites like these MADE the anime industry outside Japan because Japanese corporations absolutely suck at advertising and distributing their products till this very day. Almost no one would care about anime if it was up to anime industry executives and they should be glad to make some merch sales from people watching fansubs. And yeah yeah it’s a little more complicated but the main issue is how stupidly IP is handled in Japan, especially in regards to anime.
