They should know once they get in if they are not already.
I’m guessing you were already logged in as some can’t get in because of the login being tied to the main site.

Probably not a good idea to trust a “trust me bro” post like this.
If HIDIVE had ran out of budget they’d not be going back and dubbing stuff. There is also not a lot of ecchi series coming up in the next season or two. CR is over licensing stuff (probably overpaying to) and companies like OceanVeil seem to be fishing for customers so this may be part of that. Which in my opinion at the asking price for the service is a bit hard to do. So HIDIVE choices are being limited even more for newer ecchi since there is them messing with bread and butter. We hopefully will see more a focus on the older stuff like the surprise of Queen Millennia in the recent slate. I don’t personally think they are out of money just being smart about reinvesting in stuff that will sell. Rather than throwing a dart at the board blindfolded and hoping it sticks.
So my thought is it’s not they have gone through their budget but more the choices are slim. My honest opinion is what is left after CR is done is not overly great shows. Stuff that years ago would have been lucky to see even licensed. Why invest in a polished turd if it still stinks?
For a bit of clarity on something. Sony’s idea of friendly competition is buying up as much as possible and running others out of options. The thing with Anime is there is a ton of great unlicensed older shows even with the ones in licensing hell.
Keep in mind this is all my opinion.
Edit: I forgot Amazon is also more actively getting more anime that may have been picked up by someone else as well.

Also take into account that HiDive, has the backing of AMC, So I’m sure their budget isn’t an issue as Summer has always been relatively light for them, and with all the sequels out not much extra worth grabbing.
My biggest hope is that HiDive / Sentai is laying off trying to license a lot of new stuff because they’re building bank to be a main Committee partner for a Monster Musume sequel…

Most of the post on that thing is a bunch of random people that can just post anything like every other social media site. I strongly doubt any of these people are actually involved with any company. Just picking up on random things said from random people. HIDIVE has a lot of haters in certain parts of the world, Pirate community, Crunchyroll only viewers and must dub for me to enjoy communities. So just take everything with a grain of salt unless HIDIVE actually post something saying they are having issues which as far as I know they are not. If I saw something even it would be speculative on my end anyway.
Just in case you did not know. None of us mods are actually employees of Sentai or HIDIVE either. So other than re-posting blogs/release slates/schedules from HIDIVE/Sentai/AMC we know nothing official.
Any official rep would neither confirm or deny anything anyway.

No reason to be sorry. It was a valid question. I lack tact anymore so just try to get to the point the best way I can.
