Wait, this is getting weird, on their website their "About us" page states being posted in Oct 2017. But they only have series listed on mangaupdates starting in 2020. Their "official" twitter account also has no posts before 2020.
Basically shady as fuck.
It's only since easy to set up online tipping services like Patreon and
passable machine translation came around that shit like this started really getting bad. Before this stuff people were mostly chill and only sniped really terrible groups, series that the main group dropped because the series got licensed, or did one off chapters for trolling. Now every moron with a translation app and pirated Photoshop is going after any popular series trying to get suckers to give them money.
