Honestly, no there is no way i'd still be watching. The only reason i'm still watching now is because i am foolishly holding on to the hope that they'll eventually return to pre-shippuuden greatness. Sadly all we've gotten so far is sub-par animation (barring 2 or 3 episodes that were made rather well. The first ep, Maybe the Gaara fight, and the Sasori fight are all that come to mind), horribly stretched and filler heavy episodes, not to mention a multitude of 2 week gaps between episode releases. If the original episodes of Naruto didn't exist and Shippuuden was a new series there is simply no way i'd still be watching, none.

That and you know, the fact that our downloading it and watching it on the internet has zero bearing on their ratings or profits.
