This for me I get though I find it odd, I remember before mangaplus there would be 3+ groups doing the popular jump series. Hell on mangahelpers back in the day you'd get 10+ crappy versions of Naruto for every chapter. I heard after the fact that Ore ni Trauma had something similar which is why it's missing a bunch of chapters, I don't know if it was sniping or people complaining about the quality or them being down on their own quality that made them do it but it's something I only became aware of on here. Only recently has someone picked it back up after a long while.And I still remember those scanlators from years ago that threw a fit about something or other and deleted all their works here, so I really don't like the whole attitude of self-importance of scanlators and them "owning" series.
I think if someone snipes it's healthier all round to make it a norm, if someone is like perverted scanner their reputation will speak for itself, if someone was just passionate and wanted to put their copy of it out then why not? Hell if someone wants to start on MTL and work on their Japanese whilst releasing a series why the fuck not.
Yeah jesus losing series in the long run to a snipe can suck a whole lot, tbf most groups are only gonna last a few years anyhow. Drama does accelerate it though and money increases drama a whole lot.This was what I said when Youjo senki got sniped. Now the snipers have lost interest and the other former group has moved on. Wish I knew better
