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
The escapism and power fantasy intrinsic to the genre combined with modern anime being designed to appeal to the type of otaku who'll spend hundreds on merch or dvds (or $40k on a statue of their waifu). For these types there's an appeal in a girl who literally can't leave them, hence slavery. Harems are partly wish-fulfilment, partially marketing: 5 archetypal waifus will appeal to more otaku than 1 archetypal waifu.
