The Batoto comments section will always be the GOAT

Grumpy, while I sympathize with you own your point on aggregate sites, I don't think that making Batoto private will help us in the long run.  Most readers these days just want the chapters as fast as possible, they couldn't care less whether it's from Batoto or Manga____.  I've also seen some people mention blanket IP bans, an interesting idea, but I don't think it'll work with entire countries at a time.  While I appreciate your actions against bots and scrapers, I don't think that the cost of offsetting so many non member users will be worth the outcome.  

 

Found this quote from reddit

 

 

All this would really do is incentivize the scrapers because now that scraping is going to get a lot more hits for your aggregate site. That new account batoto requires? that's 90% of the population saying "fuck it" and not making an account - instead going to that aggregate site that doesn't require an account.

The harder you make it to access the site and/or scrape, the more profitable you make it for the scrapers.
