@Gamingdresser000156 @cinnamoncookie Actually, Gamingdresser is right. Those are aggregator sites, which are coded to steal from mangadex, and then they all steal from each other. Other examples are mangarock, mangakakalot, and many, many more. Unfortunately, this means that they don't get updates/fixes that scanlators change later, those websites receive financial compensation directly profiting off of our (free) work, which makes it even more illegal, and then there's just that commenters can't talk to us / we can't see their comments. Thank you for letting us know. Unfortunately, the only thing we could do, really, is put passwords on our discord and such, as some groups do (which is totally valid). However, it makes it less accessible (which is… honestly the point, but you know).
Anyway, yeah! Sorry, I would've responded to the original post had it not been buried. Really appreciate it! 💖💖
