Christmas 2020: Tripled Growth and the tale of the Temporary Ad

[WindOcean]

It seems like I'm the only one, who has a problem with ads...

 

[Sterben4]

Lol, had the game before the ad

 

[evergreen_oak]

Clicked on the ad and downloaded the game! Probably won't play it, but anything to support you lovely folks running MD ^_^

 

[WindOcean]

Leviathan etc. also have ads... I just never noticed (A browser without ad-blocker is not a productive browser)

My god, I wish there were a pay to pin posts in a thread. We've said this MULTIPLE times but people don't bother to read the thread or the numerous links we've posted to past announcements that explain all of this shit.

But have you guys considered PayPal?

Joking aside, I'm actually very surprised that there's no anonymous alternative. With all of the, ahem, circumspect activities that goes on around the world I would have expected a safe harbor country to pop up, similar to how VPNs are able to sidestep the "# Eyes" regulators.

Though given certain successes in curtailing Pirate Bay and Silk Road, I guess I'm not that surprised.

Solo leveling or isekai, that's like asking to choose between my children.

So when can I see single Milfs in my area?

 

[icantnotthink]

Tbh, as long as the ads y'all put on are safe for work and not pop ups (and preferably won't give me a virus if I accidentally tap on them), I don't care if we have ads. Now, Id prefer not to have them like I'm sure everybody else would.. But if we have to have ads one week a month or something like that to help support the site and they aren't obscene or intrusive, feels like that is reasonable

EDIT: To be clear, I mostly just don't want to be reading some basic non-ecchi manga on my phone on the bus, at lunch at work, or in class and suddenly have a banner ad for SECRET TRICK TO MAKE YOUR DICK 6 INCHES LONGER, LOCAL MILFS IN YOUR AREA, THE FIRST VR MEET AND FUCK VIDEO GAME, and shit like that

 

[deathpad]

Does multiple click and download count?

 

[tonie]

@MangaNectar if it were that easy... Your children or manga...

Spoiler

manga wins every time

I just hope the ads won't give me a virus, won't be too obscene (manga/anime/game characters in their fanservice armor are "ehh, okay" but no youtube level porn ads pls xD) and it won't block or obstruct reading a chapter hovewer anime/manga and game related/themed ads are certainly better for the eyes over all others.


@Panma cryptocurrencies are the alternative actually. They were most likely made for that reason after all 😎

 

[Pascon]

As long as the ads doesn't disturb my read I'm fine. Also no pop-ups ads and lewd ads. About solo leveling...hmmm. why not? Rather than tons of series to be banned off. Thank you for your hard work.

 

[Nyeara]

Why would you ban EITHER solo leveling or isekai? if you ban solo leveling 90% of your traffic goes away, same with isekai ban. guess that's one way to kill a site.

 

[Syanindita]

ikr? just put an ads at the end of chapter in Solo Leveling and you could get a ton of money for upgrading server and paying the stuff

 

[Nyeara]

Secret third option: ban all the trashy chinese manhua, they're all shit and rinse/repeat of every other one, that saves like 75% of the site, just remove all the shitty chinese manhua dumpster fires.

 

[MangaNectar]

@(tonie) Now you're speaking my language.

That's not how percentages work.

Also, your solution is just as bad as banning isekai entirely. Solo Leveling is just one manga and you're assuming that people only use this site for that one manga which is... Kinda sad. Isekai and Chinese manhwas are an entire group. That's at least more diverse.

 

[StLL]

What happened to the merch idea?

 

[VLM]

For the future of this site, I will disable add block.

 

[fale456]

I don't mind the current ads I'm getting. I only noticed after a long period of time browsing. I'd love to support the site with a subscription fee like a patreon or a ko-fi. I haven't been paying attention so idk why paypal donations are a no-go but I just can't be bothered to learn crypto just for donations tbh.

 

[Xaelath]

I think it's better to reduce load by not having way too much different languages options.
Idk how it works but statistically there should be a way of this mess.

I do agree that both of the listed option are the main reason why the server overload.
Solo leveling - I don't read this but shit this thing need to be curated.
Isekai - similar to above this is one of the on going trend that has been existing for years following Villainess shenanigans.
