>>3066391About the CR threads, I honestly think it is more because the old guard that posted on /a/ either graduated from the site or got out of seasonal watching and the new kids just don't know or understand how to torrent or use IRC downloads. Or they do know and don't care anymore since every single torrent for a seasonal anime nowadays is a rip of a streaming site anyway, so not why just cut the middleman and watch on the streaming site the file came from.
It is pretty much what happened to music consumption for people who keep up with active artists or indies, they don't buy CDs, or even Albums anymore, they just stream it on spotfy or soundcloud/youtube.
You can talk to anyone in any media consumption niche, be it anime, movies, songs, etc. every one is streaming, the old guard still knows where to get what ever they can't find on streaming sites, but the new kids just understand that if it is not on their streaming platform of choice, they will just not consume it.
It is pretty sad for the communities actually, but it is the times we are in now, and also why you see VPN ads yelling at you how you can watch foreign netflix instead of telling you how they are more secure than the other like it was in 2015.
