To expand on this a bit; if MD were to run out of money and it was a life-or-death situation, we'd think of ways to monetise temporarily (and it's really not that hard to do with our traffic levels, even a static banner on the homepage would pay the site costs back tenfold), but we're just opposed to both advertisements and also to making money off of content that isn't ours in the first place.
So it's less of a "how can we" and more of a "we don't want to". Appreciate your worrying for us, but be at ease
We're back to the last resource again, after the trial years ago I hoped they wouldn't need to actually put it on practice. At least make them funny as April Fools' ones, you know many are asking for some specific ones: View attachment 31157
It is funny how many people expect a site that gives them free content then throws a fit because the site actually tries to cover its expenses without charging them.
It is not like the mangasex people are getting paid for what has to a lot of time and effort to do.

I am somewhat amused by the number of people asking 'Can I buy an ad and make it show nothing?' when some of us are already basically at that point, just coming from the opposite direction.
Sorry... as far as i can tell, most of people laptop (and PC) that i know of often have 1366x768 for screen resolutions.
Only a few people has 1920×1080.
And even for (web) developers, most of websites (and even apps) are the maximum (and ideal) for screen width for desktop is 1366px.
That is why you get these "big spaces" around where most of mortals don't:
But wait, isn't 1366x768 have a 16:9 ratio?
Screen ratio doesn't really matter in website development. Only pixels does.

I'm a fullstack software developer who also does web development when the customer asks for it.
There is no such thing as an "ideal" screen width on the web. Web developers are given multiple designs, usually 2-3, and use something called media queries to implement each design based on various metrics, usually screen width as defined in the design. It's how web pages are made to adapt to tiny phone screens as well as large desktop screens without the need to manage multiple versions of the same page.
Mangadex uses those very same media queries and can afford to change ad placement based on screen width, which they don't, and which is what I'm complaining about.
Except they don't care about pixels at all. They care about how large an object will appear on screen. In other words, they care about the physical size of your screen, which is likely 27 inches based on my calculations.
It's been that way since about 2010-2015, when Apple popularized HighDPI screens.
...and now it's gone? Has the data been collected? Is there some A/B testing going on?
Edit: nevermind, just seems to be displaying inconsistently now (so...A/B test?). Color me curious about the design process decisions with all the different UI permutations we've seen as of late which are totally not the reason for the MangaPlus bot breaking down every other day
