>>20305751I do get enjoyment from it, same way I get enjoyment from anime, music, games, etc. that I pirate, though some of that is arguably harder to buy legitimately and I do buy if I enjoy it enough and can find it. I also buy merch.
I would pay to go in person for this kind of thing, but paying $50 for a stream per day, which may or may not work throughout depending on the load, their servers, potential routing or internet issues on their side or my side, etc. is not worth it to me, no. If there were some guarantee that none of the aforementioned issues would occur, which is impossible, I'd consider it.
As for it being "cringe and boring", it would be no more so than watching the vod in general instead of live. Paying for it won't increase enjoyment unless you're the kind of person that gets some kind of dopamine release from doing so, but at that point waiting for BDs would be better for the quality.
