Would you still watch anime if Crunchyroll closed down?

I feel like people don't seem to understand what CR has done for anime subs. It doesn't matter if you don't watch anime on CR. If you've watched any TV anime released in the past decade or two, then you've likely watched something subbed by CR. All those stream sites you use, they're mostly rips of CR or other big names like Funimation or Netflix.

As someone who started watching anime when fansubs were the main source of airing shows, I do not want to go back to that time but if I had no choice then I have no choice. I just hate to see what kind of crap people will shove in their translations or a trendy show having 5 different groups translating one show.

@Paul Again like I said on my comment: this would only happen in the edge case of Crunchyroll going bust and every single other choice also going kaput other than fansubs.
Even in this apocalyptic scenario fansubs would still exist, but the way more likely thing to happen, is every other streaming site filling that gaping hole. Hidive, Netflix, who knows what else, would all solve the issue and we would still keep sailing the seven seas watching the very same professionally subbed anime for free.

No one would stop watching movies and series altogether if Netflix closed, regardless of what they did to the streaming market. No one would stop driving cars if Ford stopped making them, regardless of their impact in the industry.

It would be good if anime streaming services like Crunchyroll died. Then all the normies who can't figure out other ways to obtain anime would quit the hobby and make everything better for us. If anime didn't get super popular in the west, then maybe the shows wouldn't be so censored nowadays. In the past ecchi used to be uncensored on blurays. Now most ecchi shows still have rays of light and steam covering the good parts. The normification of anime is the leading cause.

It's not that "normies" can't figure out how to torrent, surf illegal streaming with annoying malicious popups, or even just simply download illegal ripped Anime from file hosting sites, etc... It's simply some Fans just wish to pay for the stuff they enjoy consuming. Though, uncensored Blu-rays still exists, even if its not done often these days. The main reason why it's becoming less common is probably because as an example a majority of anyone outside of Japan who consumes Ecchi these days, specifically in the West, likely aren't going to buy the Blu-rays even if they did produce them. So not much incentive for western distribution companies that licenses Anime to start printing copies on physical media when they won't sell enough to at least break even anymore. The industry caught on and realized the West was simply just ripping their uncensored Blu-rays to the internet simply for others to leech off of. If I was a in the business of physical media distribution, I wouldn't bother trying to print out uncensored Blu-rays anymore either if I was noticing what has been happening to this medium on the internet too.

An irony about this is if it's the minority of Fans in the west now who are actually paying for the Anime they consume these days wouldn't the real "Normies" be everyone else in this context?
