Rebranding and advertisements

[dube]

Three things:
[ol]1. These ads are awesome and made me smile many times. I also discovered new manga. Thanks![/ol]
[ol]2. This should be an ongoing thing, not just a one day joke. Make it an option.[/ol]
[ol]3. It also shows this website has a bit of discoverability problem. Newest and top are not enough. Featured / recommended section would be a good thing.[/ol]

@dube #3 sounds like it should go to suggestion thread.

I wouldn't mind at all if seeing the "ads" became a toggleable option like hentai.
These ads were useful, and I was able to find some good reads with those ads (not to mention that they're pretty funny).
I guess if it became a regular feature, some of the ads would need to be toned down, but overall, I actually like it a lot.

@dube
Agreed on 3. They're set up so it rewards popularity, which in turn makes them more popular. Something like staff picks would be a great to promote older or more niche series. There's a few series I'd love to rec for something like that.

I love the ads!

Please don't take them away - this is legit a great way to discover new manga.

 

[Plykiya]

@dube I agree, discovering and sharing manga is definitely lackluster at the moment. Improvements to come after we launch v4

 

[Skc]

@seekermoc

nope

this was the false advert in question

 

[seekermoc]

@Skc LOL, that one hasn't come up for me once yet. Thanks for posting.

 

[ivv]

who?

 

[tristanjensen]

This is the only good April fools joke I've seen this year besides the duolingo one

 

[kuro-tan]

My only issue with the ads is that their quite biased in terms of sexuality -- not everyone on this website wants a waifu ok -- pls include ads for husbandos, sugar parents, gender-queer spouses and whatever it is that furries like (mates?) idk but just saying y'all could use some inclusivity trainign

 

[Plykiya]

@kuro-tan Many of our ads are by user submission. The yaoi groups just didn't have enough spirit this year!

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

@kuro-tan Have you never seen an ad? They're all sexual lol. The point of making these sexual is to parody those cancerous ads. If this was gonna be an ongoing thing, the ads are probably not at all sexual but for an April Fool's joke, it's hillarious.

Also, I'd rather see staff-picks rather than diversity if Imma be honest. If the mods want more diversity, so be it but I'd rather see what they recommend personally.

Edit: wait they're user submitted?!

WHERE DO I SIGN UP NEXT YEAR
_{^{and someone teach me how to edit plz}}

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN
Directly to Holo through Discord preferably. April fool's is just about almost over though.

 

[kuro-tan]

Hahaha I was mostly joking but that's good to know. I would have hoped that some shoujo groups would have come thru.
I just thought less people would feel the need to complain if the pandering was more diverse or not targeted so strongly towards male lolicons lol. Carry on~

edit:
@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN by "sexuality" I meant in terms of whether one like girls, guys, or otherwise, not the fact that the ads are sexual haha I got that part

PS: I'm a graphic designer, lmk if you want tips on how to make ads

 

[beritbunny]

Doh! Ya got me!!! Happy Spring, everyone!

 

[Lin]

I love the ads never remove them please

 

[Nick86]

@Greyvenn - I simply don't care, it don't bother me, i'm not here to change how adm should manage a site since i can read stuff for free (even as a contributor).
@Blabladodo @Lin - Is not a bad idea, make them perma as a filer for such hostile jw. 🤣🤣🤣

Im okay with advertisements but don’t put fucking porn sites propaganda and the there are single ladies in your area

^^

Literally this is why I love this site. Ads are fine with moderation (like old mangarock app). Have some better control over the ads though so it's not like myanimelist (where I sometimes need to turn on adblock). Ads about a trip to hawaii is fine, not ads about single ladies in my area.
