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
Isekai is also built more on escapism from current capitalist hell, this especially makes sense with many modern Isekai from Japan being centered on young men leaving behind a shitty life (salaryman lifestyle) that has no value (i.e. none of them are very concerned with returning home to their parents or other loved ones). This is distinct from female styled Isekais which arose in the 90s in which the protagonists would eventually return to their original world after having gone through a period of growth and development. This also kind of illustrates a very evident line between fantasy wish fulfillment for male anime consumers versus the very strict focus on female protags fulfilling their goals and returning as "responsible" contributers to society (i.e. Japanese traditionalist perspective on gender roles).
