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

[Kirshi]

As long as it is not a porn ad, i am fine with anything. But if possible, spare me from full screen, force redirect tab, or autoplay video based ad.

 

[miqabrannon17]

Crap, tend to forget that manga sites are piracy.

Hmmmm... I remember someone tried to blackmail me and wanted me to pay them through something called green dot?

I'm not familiar because I didn't because I called their bluff and told them I'd pay them through Western Union.

If they wanted me to use whatever green dot is it most be sketchy enough to receive payment without worry.

Also through me for a loop that my comment actually got read through all these pages

 

[RogueKitsune]

I think people are taking the poll way to seriously. While new SL does place a not insignificant load on the site, I am sure technical solutions would be tried and exhausted way before any sort of ban would ever be implemented.

 

[miqabrannon17]

Actually green dot sounds very suspect. Apparently people can anonymously load to a prepaid card but a bunch of people loading a prepaid card it just sounds like it would more than likely look like illegal activity is taking place and warrant investigation.

Rather not risk this site for anything.

Why not sell mangadex trinkets? Like t-shirts or pins on ebay or some selling site.

Just thinking of ways to send you some cash. Feel like this site does spoil us and I could give back

Why cant you use Paypal anymore? Since i'm spending quite a lot of time on your website since Kissmanga died (rip Kissmanga, spent 8 years there, that was a second home to me), i wouldnt mind giving you 5 bucks a month, or a direct donation of 60 bucks for a year.
I love the fact that this website is ad-free, and i dont want to see it turn into the monstrosity Kissmanga was, although you seem to be hellbent on avoiding that.

Anyways, happy new year, happy holidays and best wishes for 2021!

nvm the question, i found the answer and yes, i tend to forget this is illegal (or greyish).
Well, let's do ads then 😉

Rip Solo Levelling 😂

Clicked the Ad and Download is ongoing. Hope this small act helps. Will also try playing it since you guys say it's not that bad. 😁

 

[Vyrz]

I'd say, ads on the main part of the site are fine, but obviously wouldn't generate much cpm, so it may be impossible to fund everything with just those, if they had to go in the viewer, I'd say no more than a single page spread in between chapters, that you can easily click away from...

 

[lolomawisoft]

Arnt you risking the .org domain by running ads, since you have to be non profit and the ones who gives ads arnt?

Btw. Used to play that game, its quite fun

 

[awen478]

ban solo leveling is ok, and for donation you can make a tutorial how to use it, because a lot of people doesnt know about it

 

[jeffbustercase]

If the poll is true, there is no sense in banning a hole genre. Solo leveving is much more famous tha some other no so big titles

 

[AbrarMalik]

Hmm

 

[thobong]

Ads are fine, as long as they don't pop up and tell me there are swarm of lolis near me.

Crypto isn't an option for me so I can't help, but I will disable adblock on mangadex.

Oh and I know it most likely won't happen, but if that solo leveling is gone, would be happy about it. Enjoyed it at first, but after a while turned into a fapfest. And all of the longstrips and color pages doesn't make it any better.

 

[okasamyn]

I got no issues with ads as long as they don't cut into chapter pages or pop-up like those bull shit.

 

[zedlor75]

I still enjoy a few isekai, as there are 5 or 6 that have good stories and are an enjoyment to read. There are probably another 5 or 6 that haven't been translated yet but are good. If I had to go to another site just to check if Ascendance of a bookworm ever gets another chapter translated, I might just use them instead.

 

[NeoUsui]

Me: *sees this*
*Close browser and turn off PC*
Me: *Open mangadex from phone*

As long as I can still read just fine

 

[Makotoyukidesu]

If it keeps the site running and available to all, non-intrusive ads aren't a big deal. I've gotten countless hours of entertainment from mangadex, and some ads are nothing compared to that

 

[Xizu]

I dont mind as long as it is non-intrusive ads, not pop up on screen, not cutting the page in manga or auto redirect like some shitty website. I dont hv any mean to help like cypto or anything so ads like this is good enough for me.
