Anyone else notice the continued rise of scanlation groups paywalling chapters with fake currency like they're freaking K-manga. Except it's worse because they aren't even official publishers.
Except for a lot of ethical debate about why it is not right, i can probably see that these website will be targeted in a near future (it a
Also making a fake currency for pretty much everything is confusing, we have them in (gambling) games, in official comic publishing sites and now in scanlator sites.

Unrelated,
In the me discovering or noticing new X(Twitter) features,
There is an auto-translate for tweets now.
I noticed it because, i was curious about some news about this progress (No new chapter), checked the author twitter and saw that the bio and the tweets are in English.
Normally, i need to manually translate it with the translate post button, but now it seems that Grok auto-translate to English.
And the author also said:

Well, it is a cool feature but inaccurate.

Autotranslation is something that, for my job, I need off. The jargon used always seems to be mistranslated between languages (couple that with people calling the same thing by 15 different names) and autotranslation has on a couple occasions caused massive delays.

It already existed in Twitter, you only needed to be logged in... it is there at least from 2019, probably before.

Why don't they show both the original and the translated message ?

Don't tell me it take too much screen space, you know it's wrong.

Oh, i know this city, thanks to watching a Slipknot restrospective video on youtube.
Yeah, I think everyone in town my age or younger has a story about interacting with at least one of those guys. Many years ago, I was living with a group of folks that included a girl Sid had babysat for a bunch of years, which was hard to wrap my head around.

Yup and im afraid its only gonna get worse these things tend to happen when it becomes more and more mainstream just look at videogames I remember a time when DLC's used to be rare when patches were nonexistent and micro transactions weren't even a thought now its rare to find anything that doesn't include some type of way of trying to milk you for more cash or a game that doesn't make you a free QA tester

question for ya what happened to most of your banana gang? are they dead already? yall used to be like 10 to 15 (never bothered to actually remember most of them so I don't know the exact amount) and would never shut the fuck up were pretty active but nowadays i only ever see like 4 or 5 of yall still posting actively. que paso?
Well David had some stuff going on in real life so he pretty much retired from the forums. Robin is currently taking a break from MangaDex since he has law school, though he said he'll be back soon™. Basic kinda went inactive since there wasn't much going on but he does come on every now and then. Vmman, I don't know about him, I think he's also busy with doctor school or something (or was it cooking?). Mudkip half betrayed Dex for another forum. Doedoel is still here but is less active. Manko and Panda are around as you can see.

In a nutshell: most of everyone got busy with real life and with little to no activity on the forums, fucked off somewhere else. :haa:

And like the sages from the Ocarina of Time, one day we'll be all turned into medallions because evil Ganondorf always returns.
