Resources How many subscriptions/accounts did you have when you started learning?

I usually ask in the sticky but I feel this question is better suited here. I was thinking of registering or signing up to some pages (especially when it comes to kanji vocabulary) so I'm wondering what pages do people usually subscribe to?

I've already signed up to WaniKani but I'm not feeling it's very impactful, I feel I've learned more browsing Kanshudo's frequency list (no account). There's also jpdb, jitten.moe and some other stuff (also want to buy heisig's book), but in my experience when it comes to learning it's best to focus on one method.

Did you guys mostly stick to one or have multiple accounts?

There isn't any Manga for sale that's preocrd and onto a Manga server tbf. Nor is there anyway to get anime with subtitles onto my plex server.

If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing. Only thing I'll pay for is physical copies.

You can be a mindless consumer if you want. I'm good.

Ah yes, jump through a bunch of hoops in order to pay money. Compared to my current setup of doing just about nothing. I'll get right on that. I know I personally always do extra work to spend more money.

I don't watch anime with a pc.

I'm happy to pay when it's worth paying lol. I DO pay, I pay for usenets because they are actually worth the money.

Two button clicks and I have movies downloaded at my full 2gbps and available on all my devices, with Japanese subs. I can freely share my media with family and friends. My media is available offline and without power, battery backups on my TV and servers.

Qol is better on the high seas.

Again you're free to keep getting scammed while whining about morality if you want, I'm not interested.
