Crunchyroll is just something else. I haven't kept up with it at all, but I recently wanted to watch some anime.
That is when I learned a single, standard-length anime episode has 19-22 unskippable ads (1 at the beginning, 3 segments of 6-7 during the video) for non-premium users. That is about 5-7 minutes of ads for ~20 minutes of anime.
As such, the "formless" refers to the various shells I show to different people.
