Good ol' sweatshops
Thanks for the TL
"thamks for the literal 1/3 set of digital waste" you mean? the group doing what seems to be 30+ projects, and refuses to drop them to SAVE MONEY, ends up needing to constantly, consistently and annoyingly attach at least 1/4 of every chapter's worth in extra pages to every chapter they release, of self promotion. If they are that goddamn desperate for the money to keep going, they could make better choices on how they spend what they receive, instead of making it a thing of annoyance for everyone who reads what they translate, by adding that much self promo material. If they dropped maybe 5 of the 30+ series they translate, they would more than likely get their asses out of redzone spending, which would, ohhhhh i dunno...... MAYBE IT WOULD LET THEM SPEND ON OTHER PROJECTS TO GET INTO ONCE THEY KEPT THEMSELVES OUT OF REDZONE SPENDING?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! I swear they make it a point to put in their self promo pages, that they "need more people to help them translate" and "need monetary donations for that to be possible" but if you "need" either of those, when you do this for "free" (by the way, if you "need donations" they are not by definition, donations, especially when asked for specifically) you are putting the money before the work you do. in cases on nonprofit businesses, doing that is literally illegal, not saying that translating is nonprofit in general, but manga translation groups, anime subtitling groups, and such similar groups, are technically nonprofit by nature. That's wild that they haven't dropped any series at least in the last six months, yet they still somehow have the motivation to work, despite "needing help" and recruiting people to do said helpful things for them, with over a 25% minimum pages per chapter release that they use as pure self promotion.
