Kinda unnecessary rant?
Ah I just kinda don't understand the unofficial translation teams who charge to read, I understand charging witha fundraiser of a sort, where you drop any amount to help with the maintenance of site n stuff, but webtoon pass type paying to read the latest chapters????per chapter payment???? Isnt that the kind of system that makes us read UNOFFICIALLY????? Istg it's a bit hilarious don't you think?? A couple years back the scanlation teams n uploader used to do it just for the community, and upload the chapters being all fun yk, now I've seen so many uploaders making mangago just a site for promotion for their own sites, like read faster at this blah blah blah site?? EXCUSE ME??? And to name a few of these, kaizenscans mythtoons prismyaoi sites etc etc like i said, i understand up until the maintenance of the said site fundraiser, but that too only at times would be reasonable, but just to remind y'all, MOST of the uploader do it for the reader n the love for the community yk, they don't charge a dime for years YEARS and It going without saying, how much we love them and are thankful for them
I wholeheartedly agree. It's the same (if not worse) for novels: there are more and more "translation" groups on Novel Updates that CLEARLY use an AI tool (I'm not a native English speaker but I'm a MTL veteran so I can recognize edited MTL from some of the slips) but charge a kidney to read chapters ahead.

It's so ironic because they don't even fully translate coherently??

Even officials don't do it as well as some fan translators who do it f...... reply
I'm surprised those teams are operating under that model because I thought that charging for translation was the one big no-no for fan-translations. for years, I'd see all those disclaimers on the credit pages of manga or tucked in somewhere in anime saying "if you paid for this, you've been ripped off". aside from how a person feels as a potential...... reply
I would understand if its "pay to read faster" but "pay to unlock" is the difference type of audacity. The whole point of piracy is to go against capitalism not to create a more evil and illegal version of capitalism reply
i thought kaizen scans and mythtoons used ai for tl since they mention staff as staff instead of nicknames scan team members usually have (and bc some of their tl has mismatched pronouns like mtl)
i don't think scan teams ask for money... i've only seen them ask for volunteers to help with tl or raw providers bc what they're doing is illegal and i...... 1 reply
AHHHH I FEEL SEENNNN OMFG THANKS Y'ALL, like scanlation teams were PEOPLE, THE FAN TL WERE DOING IT FOR THE LOVE OF IT, WE WERE ALL BONDING OMFG, THERE WERE ALL THESE UNSAID RULES THAT WE ALL HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING AHHHHHHHHH,I'm still VERY MUCH GRATEFUL FOR THE UPLOADERS WHO TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM AND DO IT FOR THE PEOPLE, LOVE Y'ALL SO MUCH, people v...... reply
