Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

MODERATORS
translator notes are one of my favourite parts of reading something foreign. it's just a small trivia about something and allows me to understand the target culture just a bit more. this is way better than translators aggressively localizing some text to a comon american phase that will anyway make no sense to me.
tns get bad rep because lazy/elitist translators (i would vote the op is a bit more than being lazy) but they are a very important part and can be very valuable when done well
