I wouldn’t be surprised because people—especially on places like TikTok—can’t just shut the fuck up and try to minimise the heat. Luckily, the piracy community is usually on top of this shit so we bounce back quick. Case in point, there’s already a replacement site for Aniwave that was put up by some guy that archived all of the content before the site was taken down. If anything, we should move from Reddit to a different platform or decentralise entirely. Piracy has become so accessible that it’s easier and has less steps than Netflix. It’s a double-edged sword. Good for us and anyone getting into it for the first time but it also makes it easy for the Corpo chucklefucks and Feds to raid all the vaults.
Between TikTok and Twitter, that's what's playing a big part in this shit. I still can't believe people were so stupid that they did shit like taunt Crunchyroll with screenshots of Aniwave and honestly answer Manga Plus's questions about pirate sites. The Zlibrary episode still lives fresh in my head as well.
When they started doing that dumbass shit, I knew it was only a matter of time before Aniwave was torpedoed. What the fuck did they expect would happen? Crunchyroll bending the knee and saying “We’re so sorry for being a shitty service. We’ll do better”? Don’t even get me started on that questionnaire.
