The issue with the current policy is that it's not enforced. You can easily find AI-scanlated chapter thanks to the blatant errors but MD will not take it down despite the fact that they already ban full AI / MTL releases.

I'd rather see Mangadex did that via some sort of quality control than the corpo, thanks. Then again, most MTL manhua trash are never available on MD anyway.

Telling me you're a simp without telling me you're a simp. Got it. What we're saying is, we refuse to go through hops and hurdles to give our money to corpo that don't want them in the first place, legal or not. And no, I'll quote Gabe's statement any day - piracy isn't the problem with...

Beats not having any option at all I suppose - which is what the industry is trying to do.

They are on MD as well, the paywalled collection are only the "clean" images without text: https://mangadex.org/title/7485fd24-e676-42d4-8005-98366bf596bd/the-wi-fi-love-story

This was indeed a very old tier in the past that I no longer maintained (and, to an extend, the only person subbed to it even translate to us). But in the event that it isn't clear to you: The "just for you" part simply means I answered to the request personally, it doesn't mean it is paywalled...

Funny, since the only paywalled contents on my Patreon are the clean version of R18+ Omake pages for my comic, which were paid by me (with commercial permission, of course). Otherwise all of our releases were free to everyone.

Again, I'm going to assume you're delusional to even THINK that on an individual level, someone find a raw page, think "hmm, this looks fun, I wonder what the series is like", go through the effort of OCRing all of the text and MTL them. No, they either look up to see if there's a scanlated...

Your analogy is completely BS. Lemme rephrase it: There's a bus that drives from point A to point B that has a fixed 50 seats, which they charge $15 each, requires you to be a resident of that town, and has no Wi-Fi, no AC, the driver is rude and trash talk you all the way. People either get on...

Funny, because by your logic publishers are already making money thanks to scraplers (at least that's rampaging in my country and getting a print on a copy is a nightmare). They aren't going to get more by killing scanlation because at the end of the day the ~10,000 copies they issued is all...

Me when I won 3 out of 4 best prizes in a capsule and the remaining one is the one that I actually want lol

Unfortunately this argument is what I've seen sooooooo many people, simps or not, made when it comes to piracy. Like, if you're just going to count how many commenting "manga/anime should be free", you are NEVER going to be able to sell anything... because those are, indeed, the loud minority...

We all know that'll happen, what I'm saying is that these "publishers" didn't go out of their way to dirty their hands, they just hire some bozo for cheap to do that.

There's a third possibility as well that some people have been suggesting: 3. A third party law firm approached those publishers saying they'll nuke mangadex if hired for a small fee. Since those old geezer hate piracy but wouldn't be bothered to do paperwork, they'd happily hand over the...

Our TL couldn't read it and asked to just hide it :v

Manga/Anime aren't like video games, they don't usually hold rereadability. If possible, people would much prefer a subscription option that allows them to pay once (cheap), read the entire series they like to the end, then unsub. We're already able to buy books anyway (albeit expensive), but...

Lemme just say that China is actually smart about this compared to Japan/Korea - at one point, publisher would simply reach out to groups doing popular series, offer them like 20 bucks per chapter in exchange for a 3 days delay. Boom, they get a high quality "official" version for almost...

A manga we are translating (Gaguru Girl) ran into the exact problem: There isn't enough sales in Japan because the otakus only buy the isekai harem trash, but the MD community is clearly interested, and many would happily buy IF it's easy to do so. The author even dropped by to beg us to buy the...

If the business don't care to let me pay them, why would I invest my time and potentially even more money to buy into their business? You know why these survey fails? They never actually reach the AUDIENCES. Polling only the people in your ecosystem while the mass market with money to burn are...

Starting a discussing with "white guys" is a good way to discredit yourself, but I don't think you're that intelligent. Anywho... Sorry that doesn't work. Before Amazon forces me to upgrade Kindle and move to their DRM-infested ebook, I was buying YAC every month for scanlating purpose. Now...
