A short rant

05 March 2012 - 01:28 AM

Batoto,
when you stop hosting a series simply because it is not currently being scanlated, do you know what i do?

I go straight to mangafox or mangareader.

Why?
Because i want to read what is already out.

I've been frequenting batoto more and more because i do not agree with other readers' profiteering, but when you remove series with multiple volumes of content, and cannot keep URLs (see:404) consistent, i go for the more convenient, streamlined reader.

I am not motivated enough to go to the scanlator's site and download and unzip their works.

I barely care enough to come to batoto, because compared to larger (profiteering) readers, their site works better, and they don't remove series i am in the middle of reading.

I would love to support scanlators, but if that is in any way inconvenient for me, i will stop doing it.
As will many others.


Compared to other readers, my experience with this site has been sub-par.
At the very least, leave posted series up.

This is not a difficult concept, people seek convenience.
This site is not convenient.

Sincerely,

me
