essentially groups that left: hey guys! you know what? we want more money!! sure we dont actually own the work and by accepting money for it we are liable for intellectual property theft especially when we have a patreon with direct notices that say "hey, you want a specific chapter out earlier? donate to our highest tier and it out for you, even get to see it on patreon a week earlier!" i mean if we just got donations as a group and allocated those funds at our discretion it would be fine but we decided to open ourselves to future lawsuits cause we want all that money!! sure any old smuck cant easily translate just about anything using a machine translating software but we do something they cant, we shame them for it! we call them shit and claim they are stealing our projects! sure they are dropping chapters with minor error that could be easily fixed in minutes or the terms are slightly different than what we use, but you have to understand we spend hours upon hour working hard, shitposting in our discord translating! and these smucks come and steal our source of revenue projects! we have a community of translators, well ok its 3 guys in a basement playing D&D with the support of the community we know who's working on what, no its not a network of people scheming with one another trust us, i mean sure we clearly state when ever anyone post chapters cause we haven't updated for a while and they decide to do instead that we have many many chapters ok its like 2 and a half but steve's mom took his pc away and trust there's more on there! and we are just waiting for minor cleaning and type setting, oh and it just so happens we release a continuation of the chapter the very next day, it was always scheduled for then, not like we took the already posted machine translated chapter and cleaned it up slightly and then posted it with our credits page. anyone that tells you differently is a filthy liar that hates both the translation community and you personally! anyways we're off manga dex i have to go i lots of money to count i have lots of work to do translating.
