This is very true. The thing that really makes this the case? Youtube.

Alot of my friends have kids. Those kids all watch Naruto/One Piece/Bleach(hell one even watches Death Note).

But while I download them every week using torrents, they just watch them all on youtube.

The end result being that even though they came bearly operate their computers, they are just as caught up as I am, watching the same subs I am.

So what you have, is this huge new audience of fansubbers, for whome quality is a completely moot point. Because no matter how good your sub is, it still looks like shit when it's played on youtube. And that's all those kids ever see until they watch it years later on Cartoon Network.
