let me copy my joke about this news yesterday on telegram chat:
- trying to target the international market
- gaining a huge profit, damn🤑💸🤑💸🤑💸
- Business expansion
- The business model remains stingy; in fact, the international version’s system is even worse than the local one (the Korean version)—both in terms of the business model and the in-app system
- Customers are starting to realize this injustice and are beginning to protest
- International customers found out how the industry treats the artists behind their favorite manhwa, so they’re getting even more furious
- Piracy is thriving
- “Korean corporate sycophants, charge! Bash them!”
- Failed—outsiders can still debunk all their sycophants’ arguments
- “Um… what should we do…? Aha! I know! Let’s block the pirated sites so they’ll switch to legal ones! What? Fix the service? Ah, we’ll get to that later 😎”
- Boom, the sites are blocked—but instead of migrating to legal platforms, they’re bombarded with negative reviews and face even more boycotts
- Unwilling to accept this, they mobilize the sycophants of stingy corporate capitalists, Part 2
- Still a failure—the audience is even more reluctant to return to legal platforms
- Profits plummet—bankruptcy
- “Let’s merge the companies. It’s because
we’re going bankrupt we want to expand our audience reach so the audience doesn’t get fragmented.” (Translation: Since I’m going deeper into the red, to avoid shareholders thinking I’m actually bankrupt, I’ll just merge them so the user numbers still look big 😎)
