Ok just forget about it, forget about me, forget about everything I was just joking ok ;)
Then mangago should upload maybe 10 chapters of a webtoon then stop uploading the rest. So that people who's genuinely interested in the manga will be forced to buy the rest of the chapters.
I hate peopl lik u the most (︶︿︶)＝凸
Ok guys stop commenting on this post if u have opinions or anything u wanna to say then post a new comment because this is irritating for other ppl who are reading the front page
The feeling's mutual.
ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Thats pretty good idea I think :)
Yes, this is really becoming irritating if you guys keep on debating about Lezhin and webtoons. I'm sorry to say this if you guys are not happy here and if you don't like how Mangago does its business please move on to other sites.
Just saying. There's many manga that i would like to purchase but they do not have an english translated version. So should we viewers be punished or missed out because we can't read the original language text.
Just curious.
ps. If there is a way for me to purchased the manga in a translated version I would gladly pay for it.
But i do understand where you're (POV/author POV) coming from. Please don't hammer me.
this "debate" started about webcomics that are available in english
just saying xD
That suggestion is only for webtoons. Cause unlike manga, it doesn't have a book form and can only be bought electronically so it has lesser income compared to manga.
I think my point is that although people are forgetting they should pay to read things, not many people would actually pay to read it if it wasn't free. Like the variety of amazing webtoons out there are far more than the ones actually on mangago so people who actually want to read more have options to go and buy them. But people who are on mangago aren't really the right market to be paying for comics so it's not like they're losing out on that much money.
And it is disrespectful towards artists for locked chapters to be uploaded but at the end of the day, this is the internet and there's never going to be solid control over things like that.
Of course there are a lot of rude people on mangago and the internet in general who are selfish and only care about themselves but what can you do. That's just life.
And the admins may be making money off of mangago but they do have to pay to host the website as well. And with more traffic you have to pay for more bandwith. Of course they're still profitting but that's also business.
At the end of the day, the system is what it is and while it isn't perfect, I don't think it's as bad as everyone seems to make it out to be.
Yeah I'm pretty much in the same mindset as you. Economics always balances itself out like that. Although I've read a lot of manga on here, most of them I wouldn't pay to read. It's just like with real books, I borrow and read a lot but I only buy the physical copy of books I love.
Webtoons, movies, manga, books etc. will always be shared online but if you have a quality product, you will be able to make money because people will want to support you. Not everyone of course, but enough.
While it is true that webtoons don't have a book version, that also means they don't have to invest as much in order to publish their work. Real books need huge investments initially to get printed and thus the money they earn has to cover that initial investment as well. So basically all money earned from webtoons can be considered profit. The break even point is lower.
That's definitely an idea but it'd be hard to determine the number of chapters that should be released. Because sometimes mangas have slow starts and you don't get hooked till like a season or two later. So you'd be gambling by stopping the upload after a certain chapter. Anyone who wasnt hooked yet but may have been hooked two chapters later wont go and buy it. But that's just life.
So I've seen a lot of debates over uploading webtoons onto mangago and how it detracts from the author's profit. There's two sides to it though. In reality, the majority of english manga readers don't pay for any mangas they read. And they wouldn't read them if they had to pay (whether for financial reasons or if they're too young or if they don't have a credit card etc.)
While I understand it takes away from the author's profit if there's free copies - at the same time, it doesn't. Because there will always be some fans who will discover the webtoon only because it was uploaded onto mangago. Then they'll read a few chapters and realize they love it and go pay for more.
But really, it's a give and take. You raise traffic and awareness about your product by giving out samples aka free chapters, to draw people in to the story and then they pay for it. Its the same for make up and Video game demos. Its less controlled yes, but every single manga you ever read that you dont pay for takes away money from an author. Even borrowing a book from a library takes away profit. But mangago does what libraries do - they give people access to books they wouldn't have been exposed to before and then a portion of those people will fall in love with the book and purchase a copy themselves.
So I think people need to take that into consideration when they're complaining about webtoons being uploaded. I mean, it's not like they were intended for english audiences anyways. So our money wasn't really calculated as a part of the expected profit, it's more just bonus.
