placeholders exist so that bots dont upload mtls on here. there are a lot of ph cuz the raws are ahead by a lot of chapters. u did not get notified for the ph, but for the official chapter that was uploaded. ph dont hurt anyone, just read the chapter and move on.
I get a notification for every placeholder. It says a new chapter was uploaded. It doesn't know it's a placeholder and neither do I until I click on it.
i mean, a new chap *was* uploaded yesterday (chap 75 official translation), along with the placeholder. i think some people got double notified, but thats not the uploaders fault. im an uploader myself so mangago sometimes approves chapters late / bugs out and gives notifications late. anyway, a chapter was uploaded, and seph always uploads a new placeholder *along* with a new chap so people dont get confused.
I never know a new chapter is uploaded because it replaced the ph. It doesn't tell me or you that. You got notified because a new ph was there and it just so happens a new chapter was there too. You are never notified when a real chapter replaces a ph.
Would you need 5 placeholders? Even 1 is too much. Frigging stop it.
