@Kirbyzcheese DM me on Discord, I'm open about talking about why I have our own Site, our finances and what our goals are. I can show numbers as proof too. I think I've seen there before? Or somewhere I don't remember.
@Xxx_OniiChanDAISUKI_xxX That's not good enough though. That's like a telephone game where people start inserting bias in their statements and passing along the message. As for the traffic stats, I honestly
WISH those were correct. Those sites assume your site gets paid based on maximum ads and maximum cpc and some bullshit. Completely incorrect. There are no "Oppsies" there. I can even show you the numbers. If you'd have a site you'd understand, but since you haven't experienced running a site you assume these numbers provided by stats sites are correct. Perhaps this is causing a lot of misinformation to spread, when people assume a quick google search is more than enough to criticize a team.
Like think about it, If I were making a million dollars, wouldn't there be a big fight going on in the team for money? Just think about it... Our team is 100+ people, if we were not honest people, we wouldn't have grown to this size. If I were making that much money I'd not put a 2 week delay here, I would be investing in making our site look professional and making my own version of Batoto.
As for Sniping Official Simulpubs, we're not a professional team. We're a Fan scanlation team that releases content based on how we interpret the original source. I think a lot of the community agrees that the translators in our team do more justice to the content than the official teams, and if we can release and share better scans, why should we hesitate not to? We're just doing a service to the community that can't access the content worldwide. Even if sometimes we don't pull up to the mark with the translations, that just means we're a amateur group of people, right? We're not Pros, we're just a group of friends that work on series we like to read.
We release content for ourselves first, then our friends and others. If people don't like our version of the scans, they are very welcome to release their own versions (As you did). This isn't like we've locked down a series (we can't). The 2 week delay on MD has a multitude of reasons, and I'm more than willing to share if you contact me on our Discord.
What annoys me is that people forget MD is just another Aggregate site. Our reader on the our site is and should be the first place you should be able to read the content we release. Our reader has been there ever since our team started. If we make a piece of art (in this case modify it from its original source), why can't we display it in our art Gallery? Why should we hand it over to another art Gallery? What fuels us, and me is when people appreciate our effort. Not when people act like Choosing beggars.
