Glad I moved away from it a while ago, AniList!
What makes it superior to MAL?
As far as I know, AniList has better search functionalities and allows korean and chinese manga/animation. While MAL may have larger database of animes. Also they're owned by a Web3 company now 🫥 at least it's not an ad company nor US company because they go wild putting data tracking and collection bloating everything all in the name of Data Brokers profits 👻
Hate to break it to you, but it's not just those companies. Kodansha's manga app, KManga, has over 2x the trackers that Facebook has. Them mf'ers are greedy
