Maybe it was just their first time listening to kpop? And now they're a kpop fan?

Like most people who don't listen to it and only think it's cringey without ever having really listened to it/watched it before. And when they give it a chance they end up liking it


Not like there isn't a lot of cringey kpop, but I mean Western music also has One Direction etc. Hard to judge a genre from one band/one song. Just gotta come across the songs and style you like first

Wtf
I just slept 14h

I wake up this morning, see the light out of my window is pretty dim and think "meh it's too early let's go back to sleep" and now I wake up and see it's still the same ;_;

I think the reason why that V stands out so glaringly is because of the lack of blur. The original letters all have blurred edges and a soft glow in the background, which V doesn't, though this has probably been done intentionally.

it stands out beause it's big red and looks like notification red

I don't think it matters when it's not the main ingredient


I thank the man who invented ketchup. Not as good as actual sauces but if you don't have them it's a great substitute, much better than bland

I dont know why I feel guilty... maybe because I consume so much manga, I read so many manga of every different genre, yet I've never once tried to contribute towards a community like this, and then I grind my teeth when people I talk to say "oh I never read the manga, I just watch the anime", not because there's something wrong with just watching anime, but because I'm lonely and I want to find like-minded people who like the things I like and read the things I read, and here it was all this time, and now it's gone....

 

Anyway that's my stupid rambling over with, thank you so much for giving us this amazing site, I wish the best for you in the future.

Thank you for answer.

So, they clog up the bandwith, and steal content on massive scale? Why do they do it?

There was a lot of discussion of this when Batoto went from a 'guest' mode to requiring signups.  The bots were consuming ~half the bandwidth and taxing the servers. The resources to support bots were still growing. Grumpy had tried a number of simple work-arounds already. Here's the most important thread if you care to read more: https://vatoto.com/forums/topic/23683-batoto-becoming-registered-only/

 

As for why, short answer is money.  Those sites scrape content uploaded to Batoto, compress it, serve it with lots of ads, and use search engine optimization tricks to get you to read popular series there instead of here. Not having to worry much about quality or direct interactions with scanlators, plus tons more readers make them profitable.
