>>61938760Why you ask? From how I experienced the process, a watermark version is made and many read that. Mangafox looks bad to people who understand the issue. People who think piracy for profit get mad at reading or they wait for the actual clean release. Mangafox gets that, but there are now fewer people to visit the MF site to read the clean one.
Download collectors of manga are happy for a clean archive version. BakaBT is able to use the clean version for when they release either an arc or XXX number of chapters in the cases of long-running series. BakaBT updates the original torrent, thus all you do is simply replace the torrent and force update in your client.
In the long run, a regular schedule results in a de facto effect of just a time shift of X days for an "actual" release. That is how it looks to me as I've been downloading the clean versions. Watermarks have been no real negative effect to me. But I am not one of those "fans from hell" as previously described. I enjoy my manga downloads.
Maybe the scanlators didn't see due to noise from the fans from hell. But there are fans who think it is pretty funny people complain so much when the final de facto effect is tiny. But what is bad is how UGLY these fans from hell are due to the "entitlement" effect of getting free stuff. The same about social welfare programs. I bet the people who dislike social welfare are mostly the quiet understanding fans aware of the social problem and issue here. And the ugly yelling fans are the entitlement recipients who scream and make threats if anything affects their free welfare handouts. It's no wonder that sensible people want to end social welfare. Eventually, ACTA & TPP will put an end to manga social welfare too. Let the Fans From Hell cry to the republicans then and get jailed.
