I hate scan sites that force you to pay to read the last chapter(s)
The point of piracy is to give everyone access to stuff (and for archival). why tf are they paywalling it as if it's not illegal to do so?? I mean, piracy is illegal but paying for an illegal service is probably more illegal (in the USA at least)
its so scummy. if im going to pay, its best if its through an official source. I really dont wanna have to make an account for some random ass site just to find out how much i would have to pay to purchase a chapter
They dont deserve my money. Id rather give my money to the author if i have to pay. Speaking of, even if i wanted to, setting up the proper payment method is much more hassle than its worth
it makes me so upset cuz ive been seeing it more and more recently. Im so glad not all scans are like this, but it just sucks cuz sometimes im reading something cute or smthn i like, I finish all the chapters thats on the site, i then go over to manga updates to see how many chapters are left only to find out theres a few and its all paywalled
in general i hate seeing pirated stuff being paywalled. if i had bunch of money and resources, id buy the original stuff, find a way to TL it, then post it online completely for free and just provide links to the author's socials or where to go to support the author
i dont even mind getting ads. if they HAVE to profit off of being a pirate, id rather deal with a few ads on my screen (ads after every click is cancer tho) but even then i prefer to not have to deal with monetization at all.
