So there was a typical drama about people blaming a new uploader for picking up where the old uploader is currently at. They said the new uploader should stop uploading and apologize to the old one. They made some noise on Instagram.

Honestly speaking...we are translating an intellectual property, most of the time, without permission from the creator. And readers like me are reading this illegal translation because we like the story. So it's funny to create our own little rules about DOs and DON'Ts regarding illegal translation. What do you mean by calling dibs? Excuse me, do you own the raws? Shouldn't we be thankful that the updates are not delayed?

And we can only thank ANY and all the uploaders. I see a lot of people blaming the uploaders for whatever reasons.

Did the new person upload the update instead of original uploader? Thank them.

Is the quality of cleaning/redrawing not good enough? Thank them.

Are the updates slow? Encourage them.

Is the translation bad with a lot of grammar/spelling mistakes? Thank them.

Are the screenshots of webtoons cut in weird places? Thank them.

Not satisfied with any of the above? YOU do it!

This situation is like an exam room. Readers are sitting there with blank answer papers while waiting for the uploaders nearby working hard to fill in the answers. Readers want to copy their answers. But if uploaders failed to answer enough questions, the judgemental ones will criticize the uploaders.

"I want to get the passing mark. Why can't you answer enough questions to pass?"

"I need to answer all the questions in order to get an A. Why did you only answer two-third of the exam paper??"

It's not like you invested anything to get those answers. You didn't spend time memorizing the definitions. You didn't spend money on private tutors. Do you realize that when you're blaming the uploaders who are willing to share their answers with you (who spent time scanlating chapters and spent money to buy the raws/official translation), there are tons of other exam sitters who simply answer their questions and cover their answer sheets? (people who can read original Japanese/Chinese/Korean raws or have money to buy official translations but doesn't scanlate/upload)

If the uploaders didn't share their answers with you, your exam result will be zero. Even if you didn't pass by copying their answers, there's simply no reason to blame their shortcomings.

Since everyone is in this cheating business by violating the exam system, the least you can do is not act like an entitled asshole.
