Question of the Week (Patreon)

hi! usually every week I post a Question of the Week to my Discord and we talk about our answers in stream. This week's question is a bit "bigger" than the average question and I was hoping for answers here (although if you want to tag me on Discord in the anime chat, that's fine too). 

We'll chat about it at the start of Sunday's stream and I want to use some answers for a blog post I'm planning to write soon. 

QUESTION: Have you ever watched an anime (on a legal site) because you saw me reacting to it and it looked good/got you excited to see what it's about? Or have you ever bought manga, because you got into the anime through this community and loved it so much you bought manga/merchandise? 

- the point of the blog post is about fair use and why I believe that (most) people who react to/review anime/manga add to (or at least keep alive) the hype for shows and give more to the industry than they may "take away", especially considering pirate sites still exist and no one would watch a show in the faded corner of a reactor's screen if they can watch it in HD on a pirate site. 

Of course, just because pirate sites exist doesn't make it okay for reactors to "do the same", but the purpose of the post is to get into why it's not the same, since reactors create something new, especially when we go all out with our reviews. 

Of course I'm aware of the music and everything that is included when we react to shows, but I hope to add some "solutions" to these problems, because "fair use" is a fairly new concept and pretty vague (especially when it comes to Japan), but that's why I think it's an important discussion to have and I would like to hear from you how watching my reactions (or reactions in general) has benefited the anime and manga community.
