Crunchyroll is literally only as big as they are by being so fucking evil that they managed to weasel their way into getting contracts with companies in Japan to become the "legitimate" anime site and killing off competition from piracy.

Which got them huge numbers of users that looked promising overseas and then they quietly pushed that part of the site to the back.
