You accuse others of being condescending but you yourself have the nerve to imply that we are not aware of simple things like, for example, that there are multiple ad networks? Batoto has changed numerous ad networks in the past and it's about to do that any moment now, as far as I know. The rest of your post is just demagogy and desperate attempt to ``come on top'' of some illusionary argument, which is just silly.  Finally I want to address something, which saddened me a lot upon reading:

 

 

What do you think Batoto is, some capitalistic corporation that operates solely for profit? We love comics and want to share them with everyone, or at least I do, and it comes absolutely natural for me to suggest another reading site if something is not available on Batoto. However it's always best to get the comic(s) from the scanlator directly. I couldn't care less about keeping every user loyal to the site.

 

 

Perhaps I could have worded what I said better so no need to be so hostile. I even said I don't know whether he meant it or not. I didn't outright call him condecending. I do apolize for my wording though. I realize the staff knows there are multiple ad providers and I know they have been switched multiple times. I mearly brought it up to list all the options available for the sake of thouroughness. Thats why I said I wasn't suggesting they be switched.

 

And no I don't think batoto operates for a profit but I also don't want to site to dissappear or have trouble keeping users. I love this site and manga. I spend most of my free time reading it because I find it so enjoyable. Because of that I don't like the idea of having to send users away even if it's just for one manga. Lastly I don't know what illusionary argument you are talking about. I was mearly adressing the things that mhh brought up even if he didnt do so in the best way and like I said I may not have responded in the best either. Such is the problem with text since emotion cannot really be shown as easy. Even if there was an arguement the point of one should never be to win or come out on top. The point should be to reach a mutual understanding on an issue and make a decision about it if needed.

 

 

Daktyl addressed what I said well as did you mhh in your latest post. I thank you for that. Also this is now getting kinda off topic. I'm not against you guys nor trying to attack anyone. My original point was simply that this sucks and that I believe most people wish more could be done about it. I understand what happened and about the terms are service thing now that has been mentioned, I don't know that everyone know or understands that though which is what causes these issues. I also accept what happened. Its not like I'm demanding the manga back or that the ads be changed or anything. I hope that clears things up and anyone who is upset over some simple misunderstandings is able to calm down so we can all get back to reading the manga we love.
