Well-

Uh... something about ads.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Hmm, now tsoto.net
They seem the first not in your face scummy one, at least on first view

Looks legit enough at a glance.

Banners are still way too large, though, they still take up half the page, both on desktop and mobile.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Btw, is there an estimation of how long the "short while" is?

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Also, I made some manual suggestions on how to improve it in the Updates screen.
For both, I also halved the Max-Height to 128px from 256px, that made it already much less intrusive.

Spoiler: Concept 1

In this, I moved the ad after the second update entry, which will usually put it at the bottom of the screen.
It allows the user to first focus on what is relevant to him and when he scrolls down, the only real change is a few rolls more.

Spoiler: Concept 2

The Advertisement is smaller and uses the free space next to the update, making it NOT hide any of the content the user is actually on this page for.

Both of these would be much more fitting for the term "Non-intrusive". And both were done with not even 5 minutes of Console HTML and CSS editing.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

In fact, here a css edit to make the Advert way less annoying
.max-h-\[256px\] {
max-height: 132px;
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
right: 118px;
}

I added it to my updates feed in Stylus, way more pleasant

Also...
What is this?

What publisher in China did this "Leveraging"?
When did that happen?
Also, the other things?

Are you making stuff up here, or did this happen without any of the userbase knowing?
I'm really confused

Did you forget that BiliBili comics ran his own bot in Mangadex? A bot that was handle by them, that due to the quirks of the implementation generated an issue due to timestamps? Also their bot was the reason the group blocking was re-implemented as priority years ago...

Immortal Taoist was the previous advertisement, years ago they also had a banner where the Opera one is being displayed, in reality this is not the first or second time that MD ran ads (when I discovered I heard mentions of previous advertisements, so like the 4th time?)

And Path Network is or was the hosting or infrastructure provider for MD, they had a banner in V3 with a link in the sidebar with an affiliate coupon for people to buy services with them trough the link... really @panzerkampfwagyu but you have been here longer how did you not noticed those events?

I miss the OG Dex-chan ads to be honest.
