          Cost of moderation likely higher then lost profits from users who were only being kept on by comment section.

              It’s a fairly good bet considering the overwhelming majority of streaming services.

                You mean the ones that are all failing right now for being fractured and having no appeal beyond whatever the latest binge is?

                  Yes I do mean the ones that make far more money and have 10x or more the subscribers that Crunchyroll does. That is correct.
