I've been pondering about whether or not it would be worth it to pay for a streaming site for anime especially if I go abroad because I've been thinking a lot about a portable setup these days. I find it remarkable that people regard the damn comments page of all things as a 'feature'.

Comments pages on video content are cancer at the best of times and even as an end user I can see why companies want to get rid of them these days. When I want to watch a video I don't want to see a spam of brainless chatter at the bottom of the page and if I wanted a running commentary on everything going on in the video I would just invite family members over to watch but I find that sort of thing incredibly annoying.

That's nothing to say of the bots and general spam that often floods the comments pages generally especially on youtube when the video gets more than 2000 views. Bring back proper fan forums and community sites for that sort of thing where we can take proper measures against bots and people can sperg out as much as they like without ruining the viewing experience on the UI.
