I love me some anime and I love for them to be successful, but realistically paying for crunchyroll has most of that go to shitty localizers and the like. Only a small small portion goes to the actual anime studios and producers.
If you ever feel the desire to go the extra mile to support something, buy the source material the show is based on if there is one, or buy the BD's for the show. Really don't feel bad though. This shit gets shown on TV for free over there. And if you need subtitles, there are plenty of groups that make fansubs for free so no need to feel bad about not supporting shitty localizers.
Fansubs are dying out. Most of what gets release now is people just ripping the subs from CrunchyRoll, so money going to CrunchyRoll is actually actively degrading the quality of what we can access.
Its certainly nowhere near as vibrant of a community as it was ten years ago when every series had multiple decent groups unless it was complete dogshit that no one cared about.
