Yeah the irony of it all is that professionally subtitled shows were already inferior to fansubs, because the fansubbers were a self-selecting group of people who were fans of that show specifically. I guess Crunchyroll realized that their subs sucked anyway so why pay money for them?

Don’t forget that those fansubbers also want the watchers to get the feeling of the Japanese dubs, switching out sentences to match the voiced lines and still bring you the message, while non-fans just translate it.
