let me copy my joke about this news yesterday on telegram chat:

• trying to target the international market
• gaining a huge profit, damn🤑💸🤑💸🤑💸
• Business expansion
• The business model remains stingy; in fact, the international version’s system is even worse than the local one (the Korean version)—both in terms of the business model and the in-app system
• Customers are starting to realize this injustice and are beginning to protest
• International customers found out how the industry treats the artists behind their favorite manhwa, so they’re getting even more furious
• Piracy is thriving
• “Korean corporate sycophants, charge! Bash them!”
• Failed—outsiders can still debunk all their sycophants’ arguments
• “Um… what should we do…? Aha! I know! Let’s block the pirated sites so they’ll switch to legal ones! What? Fix the service? Ah, we’ll get to that later 😎”
• Boom, the sites are blocked—but instead of migrating to legal platforms, they’re bombarded with negative reviews and face even more boycotts
• Unwilling to accept this, they mobilize the sycophants of stingy corporate capitalists, Part 2
• Still a failure—the audience is even more reluctant to return to legal platforms
• Profits plummet—bankruptcy
• “Let’s merge the companies. It’s because we’re going bankrupt we want to expand our audience reach so the audience doesn’t get fragmented.” (Translation: Since I’m going deeper into the red, to avoid shareholders thinking I’m actually bankrupt, I’ll just merge them so the user numbers still look big 😎)

Kakao more like Kaka ( ) they had a recent security breach in their talk app and are shaking in their boots.

would be lowkey funny if this becomes a bigger disaster for Shitao
And if MD manages to absorb the Artists onto NC, it would be that "wins by doing absolutely nothing meme"

Well, taking into account that the title count went from 3.7k to almost 4k in 3-4 days, I think it might be doable
