Starting from the "Share Event"

I do not know whether the influence of this incident will continue or not, after all, no one is willing to do such a thankless job. Whether or not there are successors on Share, Chinese anime subtitle groups should take some actions. If there really is no source of episodes in the future, it's possible that some powerful subtitle groups will send special people to record episodes and send them back to China. Naturally, it won't be through Share, and it's unlikely to be shared with other subtitle groups. This should be a significant blow to the currently rampant anime subtitle industry, and many subtitle groups may dissolve because of this. Whether the increased cost will prompt anime subtitle groups to engage in certain commercial behaviors, frankly, I do not know. After all, subtitle groups like Ziju have already inserted ads into their subtitle works earlier, while many American drama subtitle works are still pure. However, even if it's still possible to conveniently obtain episode sources from Japan soon after, it's impossible to rest easy, because some things are inevitable.
