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.

The problem with isekai is not that its isekai. I mean its just this all encompassing premise for fantasy it must be responsible for half of all stories in the genre. The problem is that its a fad. And with all anime fads its self referential to the point of absurdity.
The only isekai I liked was Log Horizon and Grimgar. The former because it actually takes the premise of being trapped in an MMO and does things with it. It's more about the player politics than anything else. Grimgar otoh for all its faults made it so that being conscripted to the fantasy militia monster killer corps sucks ass.
Re: zero also isn't too bad, at least the mc has an actual personality and don't get everything handed to him unlike most isekais, he's just a normal human, no super isekai power (well, he does go back in time when he dies, but it's more of a curse than a power), he's not good with any weapons, barely know a few basic spells that are useless against most enemies, and while he can be smart when he needs to he also does plenty of dumb shit driven more by emotion than logic.
