@cumdumpster1 "They didnt create the manga, All they did was translate it"
Yes and ? it is up to us to pay the author for our reading.
If the authors were better supervised, their work would be translated and officially sold as quickly as pirate teams, even with much higher quality, because the author could for example provide HQ pages directly without the text.
It will never prevent pirate teams from existing, but at least it will give them less reason to do so and it will make the readers feel more guilty.
and it's not because they are doing this work illegally that they don't deserve economic recognition.
comments like yours annoy me
You don't find it normal to pay translators, or their websites fee, but you read pirate translations on a site without ads, but which also only exists thanks to donations ...
You have no right to complain , you either do not pay the author and in addition you encourage and want to facilitate free reading here
Why is mangadex bad for authors? because it is a place where it is easy to find manga translations that it would be harder to find on hundreds of different sites and that without any advertising, which encourages a mantality of all is free fuck authors.
And as there are hundreds of teams on mangadex, average readers have no feeling of belonging to these teams and it's the same with the authors, even the series.
I have rarely seen a translation be removed from mangadex by mangadex, because they would have been contacted by the company that manages the works of an author.
yet it is not uncommon for a translation team to stop and remove from their website a translation, because they have been contacted
It makes me think that mangadex have a legal way to protect themselves and therefore the rights of the author on his work are non-existent or almost here
The very fact that there are no ads, make people come to read here rather than on translator sites or the others big pirate websites, so they come here on this same website where the authors are struggling to assert their rights ... so by praising the reading without ad/money here you are not helping the authors
mangadex does not only harm the authors it also helps them a little, the real problem is the publishers who are incapable, they have not been able to adapt to foreign readers and internet
On the paper format with sometimes poor quality translations and it continues on the internet they continue to recruit incompetents, or they do not pay them enough working hours to have quality, or it is the lack of control.
