I've always hated Crustyroll.

Crustyroll got it's start by standing on the backs of good noble fansubbers who provided their subs for free; and now they've come full circle. They became an enemy rather quickly when it profited them.

As of Dec. 6, 10,138,526,722 URLs have been requested for delisting from 5,402,321 domains, indicating a rather small number of sites committing these alleged infringements.

Since when is 5.4 million a 'rather small number'?

They cannot take torrents away from us

Without VPN, they can.

How far will they go in order to monopolize everything? I know we always have "spare heads" for sites that are victim to these bastards but I fear a possible future dystopia where piracy is almost scarce or extinct.

They'll never stop us. That's just a circle jerk fantasy of the corpos. May the seas be fair, the wind breezy and the grog plentiful 🏴‍☠️

Black Friday sales are coming up if you’re in the US, start buying hard drives so you can actually download what you want and don’t have to rely on a streaming site.

Buy'em now before your tarrifs get ridiculous

I just hit 80% capacity on my NAS, so I was already prepping to buy a couple drives this Black Friday. Maybe I’ll just buy one or two more, which should ride me through the next 4 years.

Just got a 4080s this past winter, and my CPU is still going pretty strong so I’m feeling pretty lucky. It’s fucking bullshit that I even need to think like this though.

Give me a service worth paying for and I'll watch there.

  • comments
  • watch together
  • rating system
  • multiple servers
  • subtitles
  • automatic op skip
  • watch list
  • large library

All features I get for free. Why would I pay for a service that offers only some of those.

Just curious what's your setup?
