Does it have an impact on reading app ?

 

[ZorexLudwin]

Coming up next year:

• Users without an account can't access the chapters.
• Users with a free account can read up to 10 chapters per day.
• Paid membership users can read everything for the low price of $9,99 per month.

I'm only joking of course. Or am I?

i've seen this before....
AND I DON'T LIKE IT

Wasn't trying and failing to combat scrappers the main reason the original bato shut down? The problem that caused mangadex to come into existence in the first place? We've come full circle, what was old is new again.

Well then this change is just a bad change. The only thing it does is limit actual user. Scrapers can get past it as easy as pie. Again I don't wanna put on a thin foiled hat but sure does make you wonder.

but they won't thats how this works.

Think of it this way. you get 50 bucks for opening a door vs you get 50 bucks for climbing mount fuji.

sure if you go after the api you get better cleaning access but most scrapers don't give a shit when they have millions of sites they can scrape it's extra effort for no gain.

Why make the perfect program once when in that time you can get fifteen times the output with 10 half assed projects.

still a terrible solution don't mistake me.
