Would you be in favor of tipping Crunchyroll for every anime you complete on their platform?
| Tipping culture supports corpos underpayment of employees. You know the top brass would hog most of your donations. I never tip. Bad to incentivize sloth. |

| Why will I do that? They don't even let me screenshot |
| Sure, once I'm done tipping the US president for every day he's in office, Kim Jong Un for every day he's sparing the world from WW3, the sun for every minute it's lighting up the sky, the- oh, and I'm outta money. |

Sony is absolutely massive, do we need to tip them to pay their employees proper wages? No, no we don't. Pay them for the work and stop stashing all of the dollars into the pockets of a few. There was a similar discussion recently about tipping game developers for playing their video games... Crazy idea, let's pay the creators money for making something successful. I'm all for tipping an indie developer or 3rd party support for a small creator. Crunchyroll is not that, sorry they can get my monthly subscription and be happy with that. They just recently upped their prices too. |

I would say no. Tipping is for human resources specifically related to direct personal customer service. Especially if tipping directly effects and is account for as part of a persons wages. There is no need to tip in this regard when it comes to Anime. I look at the fact most the time if I truly enjoy anything I have watched streaming on any Official platform, I will usually eventually end up buying it on Official physical copies if they release them later on just to collect. That's the further support I contribute to this industry when it comes to the Anime I consume. |

| I don't even want to watch their platform, let alone tipping. |
| Give the greedy Corpo even MORE money? Is this a joke or troll post? @billybub Nah, this doesn't come anywhere close to the people who unironically make paragraphs defending CR lol. |

| Yeah no I'm good. I already have a subscription for them, I don't wanna tip to add more. |

| Since that money sure as fuck wouldn't be going to their underpaid translators, hell no. Crunchy execs prolly'd just pocket that shit |

| @rohan121 Crunchyroll already underpays their employees and has engaged in unionbusting practices so this is even more so true. They'd just take all the money for the execs |

| Crunchyroll is never worth it. I'll just watch it on Japanese TV live. |
| Only if I can tip in negative values so they lose dominance if not go bankrupt. |
| They should tip me for using their platform. |
| Putting aside all shortcomings of using Crunchyroll in my region (a lot of anime are simply region locked) or as a whole (I can't even take a screenshot), nope. You pay for the service, so why would you want to tip said service for delivering you what you paid for? It sounds ridiculous. |

| Can't people tip the creators/artists/animators directly, instead of the money going through the filter of some companies? Although even if I can, I still won't. But I know some people would and that's a good thing. |

| @mizukasa Iirc some animation companies have a patron. Edit: I can only find info about studio Trigger having patron so it doesn't look like it's too common. |

| Contrary to what some might anticipate me saying, I'm on "No." I pay the subscription fees, I watch as much or as little as I want to per month from there. That's the deal. And frankly, tip creep has gotten out of control in recent years in the US. I worked in fast food off and on for 10 years in the late 90s through the mid 00s, and we were not allowed to take tips, much less ask for or encourage them. So I'm not about to start adding 20% for the act of making a sandwich and handing it out the drive-thru window, especially when I'm doing the "shadow labor" of entering my order from my car via the outdoor kiosk. |

| No, CR is a shitty platform and I don't tip. Companies should pay their workers a living wage. This is just a thing to let companies use slave wages. Thankfully it is not really a thing in most countries and is in fact embarrassing in places like Japan. |
 |
| "Would you be in favor of tipping Crunchyroll for every anime you complete on their platform?" No, thank you. |
 |
| Nope, I will not. I only tip if there is a good reason for me to do so. Tipping for every anime that I complete is just not a good reason, so therefore I won't be tipping. |
| No. Fuck streaming. Also fuck Sony. Now, if you could somehow only pay the translator, that would be of interest. |

I would rather be known as this type of elitist than some Anime consuming bum. |

| I'd rather tip my garbage man for handling literal shit. Also, fuck tipping as a concept. Just pay your workers more. "But we'd have to up the prices", fuck you because prices are already going up. I'll pay more for the actual product if it means I don't have to feel like a dick for not tipping or not tipping "enough". |
| Why would I tip for something Im already paying for? And why would I tip the streaming platform instead of the animators or the studio that actually makes the anime? |
 |
| And like clockwork, the usual paid Corpo shill arrives. |

| Tipping on a streaming platform is a pretty novel idea to me, and I would like to know where this question is coming from. Have there been rumors? Has it been suggested by Crunchyroll themselves? Are there other streaming platforms that have this system? I don't like the tipping idea, but I wouldn't mind paying a higher subscription fee if it becomes necessary. Or even pay-per-view... |
| why on earth would someone do that?? |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| First they'd have to convince me to come back to using their platform. However, I still wouldn't tip Crunchyroll, not only because they, and Sony, already have enough money, but also because their products are poor. Besides, they already occasionally get some of my money if they have a BD sale and I can jump through all of my mental hoops to hit the "pay now" button. If they allowed me to walk into wherever their main office is and tip the janitor, maybe I'd think about it. But no way would I tip anyone involved with their anime processes, much less the executives at the top who are renowned for not paying employees enough. |

| Yes, a 100 dollar tip for every episode. |

KittenCuddler said: Haha, good idea. It would be the most fair way of implementing the tipping system, if it ever would be implemented into streaming services. In fact, I can't see any other pro-consumer alternative. Will Crunchyroll give me a refund for time lost watching bad shows? Until they do I would never consider tipping. KittenCuddler said: Oh, yeah, I read an article about it on IGN (here: https://www.ign.com/articles/ex-blizzard-boss-suggests-players-should-be-able-to-tip-the-devs-of-special-games). Many gamers might rage today, but I can see them being hyped about tipping in the future and even defend the whole idea. Expensive DLCs offering small amount of content were hated at first, but nowadays they are something normal in the industry.@Adnash an ex-Blizzard executive just said people who enjoy their games should tip the developers (or something to that general effect). I think that's where the OP's idea came from. The target audience of streaming services is different than gamers. I'm not saying it's better or worse. I feel many folks subscribing to the streaming services are more conscious about the offer they are paying for, and are not afraid of "talking with their wallets" if the service is underwhelming or if its provider does wacky stuff to the offer. It's a generalization, of course. You can also find shills and people addicted to subscribing their favorite services. However, I've noticed that customers of the streaming services are in general lesa forgiving than gamers. |
| lol no and in fact tipping culture should go away |
| I refuse. They might use this money to create dubs which I'm completely against. |
| At that point just buy DVD's??????? |
| Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion... |
| I'd be willing if the service were otherwise free. |

| no, they don't even provide me with obscure pre2000 anime which I'm most interested in. and they don't allow me to download. I'm completely okay with tipping fansubbers, they do it for free anyway. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| Sure I would, but I also don't use CR whatsoever so that would mean I wouldn't pay either way. Real shit though, why would you ever want to tip a business that sucks as much as they do? |
