Getting content is a dilemma because if hadn’t pirated BL would not have existed. I would have never come across it online. It is hard for me to find it legally. I have a Futekiya account and Crunchyroll and Netflix, but the selections are very limited. Recently I had to make a cmoa.jp account and I’ve been purchasing digital manga in Japanese. I am learning Japanese and being able to read manga in their original language is a huge drive for me.
