Illegal manga/manhwa/manhua promotes visibility for comics in general

Y’all let’s be fr. Pirating manga doesn’t hurt authors lol. Idk if they live in some delusional world where every single “illegal” reader would have bought their work legitimately, bc that’s not what would have happened. I’m all for protecting your intellectual property. If you don’t want it, sure, fight against your work being pirated. All I’m saying is that it is an incredibly stupid decision. I wouldn’t even know about 90% of these comics if not for illegal websites increasing their popularity and visibility. Reading some here that I really enjoyed even led to me giving the authors money to support their work. Do you really think anyone outside of korea would even know about these manhwa if not for these pirating sites? I’ll bet that they would be making less money if not for these sites because nobody would even find out their comics exist otherwise.

    And I said they should have the right to remove their work LOL. Just that it’s a stupid business decision ? CimmicaCocoa

    It's their right and you have no say if its a bad business decision or not, and even if they don't care their company WOULD. Because its their
    IP.

    With the way you talk about authors you sound like a total douchebag, just read your replies... Literally all pilot episodes are free. Some even going as far as 12 chapters but the norm is 3 to 7, thats your free trial lol, you decide on those pilot episodes if you pay or not. But it sounds like you wanted the whole story before deciding its worth your time.

    Yes because imo a bad ending is a deal breaker as I’ve previously stated. And of course I have a right to say it’s a stupid business decision. I’m not making the decision for them. They are free to make as many decisions as they want that I perceive as stupid

    What part of it is a ragebait? Unfortunately I don’t see anything unreasonable about what I’ve said and the only retorts I’m getting are all strawmand

    Where is the conflicting part of having self awareness and having this opinion? So far nobody has given an argument that isn’t a strawman

    Nice strawman, doesn’t really impact my opinion
