The video is basically "wow anime is really popular right now" rather than a history of how Crunchy Roll became an animal streaming empire.
Step 1: be a pirate streaming site
Step 2: be cool if kind of low quality
Step 3: get sued and sell out so you don't go to jail
Step 4: somehow be a worse service for a decade as a legit operation
Step 5: still have a shitty app with numerous bugs but at least stream quality is okay
Step 6: Buy out or get bought out by various companies over time so there's no serious competition or choice for consumers.
The only ethical consumption is piracy.
god i love animal
Haha I'm leaving it.
“wow anime is really popular right now”
CR's success is pretty much that + not having any real competition.
They bought out their strongest competition. And they're trying to ice out the last one.
