Not a single ads on our website.What do I have to gain from being on a site with 20 ads blocking the manga page?
Not a single ads bro on our website.Good, complacency breeds success.
Quite a few groups are slow to upload here and it is trivial to check the groups these days if they have information registered on MangaDex.
Cope and do better.
Thanks for the reply.
Have someone a third of your age install an adblocker for you.
Shit, I have a folder in my bookmarks just for scanlation sites, that I used to check daily...haven't checked any of them in years, but just a quick glance and I'm pretty sure that a couple off the top no longer exist.No thanks, I used to go to 12 different websites in the past checking every day to see when they'd uploaded something. Then one of the groups would get pissy if another group uploaded "their" series because that first group was being slow or something and then they'd start releasing pissy passive-aggressive notes in the images on their site (but those wouldn't be on the other site of the "stealing" group, which would automatically make them the superior place to go) which would lead to people leaving, only for that upset group to later apologize but never go back and update the images without the passive aggressiveness. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum until places like MD came along to cut all that drama out and make it easier for leeches like me to read all this illegal manga.
There are other places out there that constantly release things that get put on the individual scanlators's websites and aren't as ethical about it as MD is, so there'll always be one-stop places to read things without drama. Trying to shame people into visiting other sites is an exercise in futility.
No one is going to fuck with the guy that just beat their strongest without even getting a scratch.Wait, was there not an army behind the great demon lord? No one care?
I just learned about JS the past 2-3 months. Why do you say that loading images with JS is malicious? In my node app I am making, I use JS to fetch the API to get all the base64 images stored in mongo (I know base64 isn’t practical but it’s the most simple for me rn). I’m still pretty new to web programming so I’m sorry if I sounded a bit too amateurish.Funny thing about malicious integration, a few sites I visited before has their images load with JavaScript.
I know that because adblocker wasn't blocking all the ads and disabling JavaScript did but it also didn't load the images which makes a big red flag for me.
That and the several popups my antivirus was screaming at me after trying to click the next button to flip the page.
If that was all it did then it'd be fine but there's the fact that they can; after every few clicks it would open a new pop-up window that either did work as intended but leave the previous page opened with an ad siteI just learned about JS the past 2-3 months.

Oh I have seen those kind of sites before. There were also one of those that would open a new, really small window that kind of go unnoticed until I look in the tab list and see a whole bunch of them. And a way to potentially work around that is to use the arrow key if you’re on PC to avoid having to click and triggering the event (I assume that’s what they use)If that was all it did then it'd be fine but there's the fact that they can; after every few clicks it would open a new pop-up window that either did work as intended but leave the previous page opened with an ad site
Or
It opened a new window that led to an ad site straight away.
I've encountered both so far and the second was the more aggressive version claiming stuff like; hurry now before the offer expires or your computer may be infected by malware and etc.
From then I just steered clear of sites like those both for the hassle and convenience of not dealing with it.
