Their account deletion policy aside, Crunchyroll is like one of the last remaining bastions of solid streaming for a very reasonable price that hasn't increased in many years.

There's plenty of streaming services to cancel and switch to piracy on legitimately, I don't personally believe Crunchyroll to be one of them.

One small blessing of them being so technically incompetent is that there is no DRM, so you can just use yt-dlp to download whatever show you want to keep. It's just a small pain to do because you need to download your login cookie to pass to yt-dlp.
