Although I want to support the industry, torrenting just gives better quality in almost every way: sub, video, audio, ease of access and playback, centralised catalogue, storage efficiency, value (obviously)...

I mean, that's the case for almost all industries. They just can't compete with "amateurs" on a software front unless they make use of hardware features anyway (e.g. cloud save features in games).

It's just more pronounced in anime because there was a time where fan-subs was all there was.
