    You know what doesn‘t disclose your viewing habits with third parties because it doesn‘t even require you to have an account to watch streams? Aye.

    Of course, I don’t think it should be PII, but Crunchyroll should be forced to show viewing habits in aggregate, just like the TV networks.

    Netflix, Amazon, and the rest advertise “#1 show” or “trending show” on their own apps, and we’re just expected to fucking believe them, or not notice details like the numbers only pertain to the first episode, etc.

    I had to threaten them with a lawsuit if they didn’t delete the account they made with my email that I never created.

    In my case they’ll see how often I accidentally hit the Crunchyroll button on my Bravia remote.

    Relates to this law at least in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act

    Isn’t Crunchyroll an Amazon company or they haven’t made that purchase yet?

      Prime is already a huge venue for Anime, I don’t see why they would except to eliminate competition.

        There was an article some time ago about how Amazon felt emboldened by the recent success of shows like Fallout and would like to delve further into the weeb domain, with Crunchyroll being a target for possible acquisition. Might have been an opinion piece, didn’t check.

        You answered it yourself. When hasn’t Amazon tried to eliminate competition?
