    Of course, I don’t think it should be PII, but Crunchyroll should be forced to show viewing habits in aggregate, just like the TV networks.

    Netflix, Amazon, and the rest advertise “#1 show” or “trending show” on their own apps, and we’re just expected to fucking believe them, or not notice details like the numbers only pertain to the first episode, etc.

    I had to threaten them with a lawsuit if they didn’t delete the account they made with my email that I never created.

    Isn’t Crunchyroll an Amazon company or they haven’t made that purchase yet?

    Relates to this law at least in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act

    In my case they’ll see how often I accidentally hit the Crunchyroll button on my Bravia remote.
