Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Try https://everythingmoe.com/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Torrenting is definitely superior to streaming, the torrents always have a higher quality than the bitrates the streaming sites put out.
I generally prefer torrenting over streaming but not for anime.
I'm getting through some old series with 50+ episodes/season and can get through 8 episodes of a show on weekdays and 24+ on weekends.
I don't want to have to house that many episodes of many different series on my hard drive for something I won't rewatch. Rewatched shows I'll gladly torrent.
I basically never rewatch shows which is why I stream stuff.
