@clad95150 To be honest with you, all they really wanted was for the MangaDex readers to stop harassing them. And seeing as it has died down a bit, I'd say it's working. So really, you do you. That's not going to upset JB at all, lol.

@Istvan90623 Yeah it was never secret. On their discord. But it was never quite public knowledge either. There are numerous readers that would've heard of it for the first time. The groups get nothing. They'll actually see a decrease in overall traffic. That's.... actually kinda why the "for...

@Acolytus You're right. That's exactly what this is.

@scrubp Far more public knowledge about MD wanting to go legit, and an endless list of reasons not to be a scanlator yourself. To me that is far more valuable than some minor "convenience".

@scrubp I like how everyone immediately jumps to kiss. Like there aren't less offensive aggregates out there with just normal google adsense. And honestly, if you consider minor inconveniences like that "losing", then you have a pretty easy life. I've mostly been using scanlator sites from the...

@furopoi That's a fair point, but they were always going to have the better optics on their own platform. Politics really aren't my game. And if the platform ignores it all and doesn't improve itself, it won't be hurting me. Honestly, out of this entire drama mess. The only people who won...

@ninjadork All I can say regarding this, is that after everything I've read this will very likely not be the last time the issue is brought up. And that it will probably escalate over time. Which, good or bad I'm not going to be fighting that battle. While I understand the community dislikes...

@ninjadork Well, lets start from the top. JB is as acronym for Jaimini's Box I'm personally up in arms about it, because I don't believe that's the behavior that a "scanlator friendly" "neutral" platform should engage in. If you did some serious thinking. I don't believe you could think of...

@ThiccEarth Jackal got an apology for being setup through mod edits. MangaDex, however, still sees no problems with directing hate to scanlation groups. As I pointed out previously by quoting Zeph (Today) not seeing any problem with directing anyone to the scanlator when they pull off...

@bk3k The reverse situation requires a much larger entity to kick a much smaller entity off its platform. That is an act of aggression. The non-reverse situations requires a much smaller entity to look at the bigger one and go "Can you not upload our content". That is not an act of...

@gonn92 That is an incredible way to piss off a vendor and ensure they never want to work with you again. It's also a great way to piss off a customer, and make them never want to come to you again since it's a very dismissive answer. The company I work for actually runs a vapor store. And...

@Sleeper That IS strong arming. You have over a million people here. You can't go "Take all your complaints to them", you go "We respect their decision not to upload on our platform, please do not go and bother them for not uploading to our platform". And you let the community discuss the...

@memoryiris Because it doesn't seem MangaDex has changed their policy. In fact, the response I got from Zephyrus is: Which is what you should not do. You should release an official statement saying this group has decided to pull out, and to keep discussions civil. But do not direct people...

@Sabin 600. 1500 was only during their peak with SL. And they were still spending more than they were bringing in through donations and patreon. They pay $10-$15 per chapter to their TLs.

@Arashi89 https://mangadex.org/thread/93301/7/#post_769012 It's right there. "The beef is with the admins of JB making the irrational decision of not uploading"

@Plykiya I know this isn't the reason why they chose to leave. It's part of the contribution to fostering the community, that is the reason why they left now. I know you apologized to Jackladd for that incident. However, every time Holo calling JB irrational and telling everyone to go to...

@kenx This. https://mangadex.org/thread/93301/7/#post_769012 Every time this gets brought up, everyone at MangaDex goes "it's out of context". And I have never seen any context that paints them in a positive light. "It's out of context" What is the context.

@Tremontaine I'm not asking for some unrealistic authoritarian ban everyone that so much as looks at a scanlator the wrong way. At the very least, I'm asking them to fully admit fault from beginning to end for the incident, instead of just admitting fault for the edit that a member of staff...

@Zephyrus There is absolutely no context you have ever given, or will ever give. That will paint what you guys did in a positive light. The correct move would've been to admit fault and moderate your community. People harassing a guy? People screaming in the discord? Mute or ban them. Is that...

@DashMad Tbh, I'm amazed they haven't gotten a C&D on that myself.
