Does anyone think that dubs are way more popular than people seem to think?

If you were only going strictly by internet comments, you would think that only a very small casual audience ever watched dubs. But when I look around, I see packed rooms to see voice actors for dubs at conventions, I see studios fighting over getting rights so that they can dub shows, packed theaters for dubbed movies, a ton of people watched dubbed shows like Dragon Ball growing up and Toonami seems fairly popular.

If people hated dubs like the internet would lead you to believe, Toonami would air subs and none of these companies would ever dub anything. I would love to see some data from sites like Funimation and Crunchyroll to see how different the stats are for dub and sub, but sadly we'll probably never get to see that. What does everyone else think?

If an anime has a dub Iโ€™ll always prefer that to the sub just so I can enjoy more of the art and donโ€™t have to read all the time
