Less chapters being uploaded

[CoseyPlex]

Is it just me or has the general chapter upload been slowing down massively since the DMCA takedown, usually when I look at the recently uplaoded chapters there would be all new chapters uploaded every 30 or so minutes but now chapters uploaded 9 hours ago, are still present on the recently uploaded chapters on the main page. My concern is that uploaders are abandoning uploading on MangaDex all together. Am I alone in thinking this or what, or is it just uploaders waiting for things to quiet down a bit before uploading again, or is MangaDex dying and I have to find a new site to read manga?

Just like keikaku.

Every time I open the latest updates after seeing a post like yours, I see multiple uploads in the last hour, and for your info there are 31 new chapters since the last 9hours that have been uploaded. I mean, what are you complaining about? This is already pretty good lmao

Before the dmca I sometimes happened to see almost no new chapters being posted for a day, and so what? Scanlators are humans too, just get a life, no? Or scanlate yourself.
Just stop blaming the dmca or something when the difference is so little compared to before (if even noticable). What you're complaining about happens regularly, dmca or not. You're only noticing it now. Please stop being crybabies.

As of right now, 11 new chapters in the 51 last minutes!!! More than one every 5 minutes... What more do you want?

Your comment sounds very aggressive, my comment was never meant as a complaint, it is comming from a place of concern, and still when I look at the main page on recent updates, the oldest of the 24 chapters recently updated is on 7 hours I get that because I have filtered for english translated chapters only it will have an effect on it, but still as far as I remember updates were much more frequent before the DMCA takedowns. And this has been my experince ever since the takedowns took place, Im sorry if I gave the impression that was complaining, I am just genuinely concerned and could be that it has just been a slow few days and i am overthinking it, but I just wanted to share my thoughts to see if it was just me or that others had simular experiences.

I am not complaining about it I am just concerned, I do belive that because I have the site filtered to only show chapters uploaded in english has big say on things, but I still feel like uplaods were much more frequent before the DMCA takedowns

I have only english chapters too I didn't say it, but anyway, my numbers are verifiable if you put in those settings.

I honestly wanted to leave a line saying basically: "But yes, I understand you are concerned about the situation after the DMCA and wondering what will become of the site. Just like many are, most scanlators that were touched by the strike worry about this too. There are different takes on the matter; the proof is that there are really active threads on the subject that you can find easily (no reproach that you didn't go read those before voicing your concerns).
My point is, no one really knows, and those who know make a choice for themselves; some leave, some stay, but at the end of the day, everything is still continuing as it was before."
But I didn't because I assumed someone would tell you things nicely. I thought about it and decided it wasn't necessarily my role, I apologise for being brusque with you.

I just simply can't take it when you're saying the website is dying very dramatically when there are literally a dozen uploads the hour. That's pretty much in plain sight, so I feel annoyned I'm having to mention it.

Imo, the updates are still very active, and I can tell you there were times it was way slower than this even before dmca. So I didn't want to say, "Yes, you're alone worrying and being unsure about the future of the site," because that's not true; people are indeed worried.
But the ship isn't really sinking, as you can see. Even if it were, it'd be easy to go look somewhere else, but that's just your choice to make, you know.
I'm not going to tell you, "Yes, the site is dying. Go read elsewhere!" when that's factually not the case, however much you're feeling that way or people are acting that way. If all the ones saying they're going elsewhere actually go put their scan or read elsewhere, maybe the site would feel empty then.

By the way, it'd be easier to have a chart of chapters uploaded per day to compare, so that both of us wouldn't be just talking out of our arses (excuse the expression), but we don't have that (I don't) unfortunately.

Been quite a while since my main reads on Mangadex received new chapters. I suppose I'll always have the old stuff I've completed, but man... Mangadex has to be the best of the best when it comes to these sites. No viruses, no ads...
It sucks having to look for a replacement. Sure I've found a candidate but, it already got ads recently... Gonna have to go back to the dark ages again soon.
I already read One Piece elsewhere, I've had to find a new place to read Frieren though, Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan's newest chapter is on mangadex but all it's other chapters have been axed. Baki Rahen is no longer being updated, Tenkaichi also has the most current chapter but lost all the rest, I've had to look for a new place to read Jojolands. And hilariously enough, the Chronicles of Narnia Manga on all sites has no translation on the final chapter. And Fist of the Blue Sky: Regenesis has entered another hiatus due to the deteriorating health of one of the creators!
In the end though, my search has led me to a vat of poorly translated Gifuu Doudou Series' and the 50+ chapters of Hana No Keiji which were removed from mangadex (Oddly enough I like poor translations, I can piece together better dialogue from it anyway).
At the very least mangadex is still standing though, I read all of Jojo through this site, all of Baki, Fist of the North Star and Blue Sky, Shadow Warrior and Sakon. Gotta count my blessings here.
