That explains the "are you experiencing interruptions" message I keep getting these days, though I kinda expected this.

I didn't even know about it, but thanks to this article now I know.

It is not just paywall, New York Times is full of propaganda just like CNN.

That is dumb, it is fine if the release it a few days after. Management is horrible in Crunchyroll, fun fact though crunchyroll used to be a pirate site.

They are not that bad compared to the others I listed, but there translation has been getting worse these days. Also they drop stuff on a whim.

Doubt it, only a small part will go the originl author which is the price required to purchase the chapter which is a few coins on Naver equivalent to $0.10, while manga is equivalent to $1 or $2. Some will go to the translator, but judging by the horrible quality of the translation probably not much and the editers, and the rest will go the owners of the site.

Exactly, this opens up legal problems. This is the exact reason that Nintendo was able to go after Yuzu, because they started taking money from people. Donations are fine, but when you are profiting this opens up legal troubles. What's funny is that these fan translater have a DCMA reporting email like they are not profiting from copyrightable content.

Yes, exactly. The server I run jellyfin on kept promising me cake, though I am fairly certain the cake is a lie.

I miss the days when we used to get 20-25 episodes for example Lost release schedule was amazing. Wonder why it changed.

No, from experience this is definitely because there is barely anything good these days, also many tv shows take 1 or 2 years to release seasons, gone are the days were we get a 20 episode season per year. Now we barely get 8 episodes every two years.
