[Locked] FAKKU State of the Union 2016

My favorite genre is completely gone, so I honestly have no reason to be here anymore. I never subscribed because the majority of things uploaded didn't interest me, and now, pretty much the only reason I was ever here is gone.

If subscriptions are not quite what you want, maybe the books are?



Controversial tags are back, you just have to enable them in your settings. Not as much content as before, of course, but we are still getting more of these as well.

Subscribers do have some additional perks, though. No ads (although most probably use AdBlock anyway), custom ranks, various additional settings for the forums, read history and read later lists. It might not be the perks you envisioned, but they're there.

What is your favorite genre?

We are making an effort to try and have a wide range of things here on FAKKU. Feedback on what the community would like to see more of is a huge help in our decision making process along the way.

It's sure is sad thing that all free stuff is gone but i understand that removing unlicensed stuff is only way make Fakku legal site and i'm fine with that when now i can enjoy uncensored stuff.

I have mixed feelings regarding all this.

It's great that you guys support the drawers and their copyright, but is it really necessary to remove EVERYTHING? At least make some content free, if there is anything at all.
While I know that Fakku offers a lot of high quality content, I don't think that it's worth the $12.95. I prefer to invest that money into something else like Netflix for that price. I think $5-$8 per month would be more suitable.

It's just my opinion in the end and I'm sad to let fakku go, cause it's simply not really worth it.

a) Can't have legal and illegal stuff and remain a legit business. They will however eventually make a script to have some of the content go on a cycle as free, so people can test before they buy.
b) $12.95 is more than reasonable for an adult service. It's not in the same category as netflicks or any non adult service. As such, prices, fees and what not are all much higher. It's quite affordable for an adult service. That, and it's also fairly young. Give it time and growth, and price will possibly come down a touch

Let me just raise a point that when some people are asking for some free stuff they're not immediately asking for illegal stuff. Even other adult websites have free samples to offer just to entice their customers. I firmly believe that FAKKU will benefit from having free content. In my experience, having everything behind a paywall can be very intimidating. Especially if there are paywalls behind paywalls. I do not mean at all that you should bring back doujins, though that would be very much appreciated. What I do mean is that maybe you can work with your partners (Wani) and talk about this if they're willing to have make some stuff dedicated for free viewing for some audiences. We must always remember that customers, especially first time customers, prefer to have a taste of what a company is serving before they would want to order the main course. I believe that this would give an advantage to a new company, especially one that's just starting out. And, if Wani does not agree to it, it would always be a good thing to have more partners than just one. Just some thoughts.

Sadly no. Allow me to paint you a few scenarios of exactly why:

1) We really want to work with artist _____, we contact them and tell them how much we love their work. We tell them what FAKKU is and how we support the artists. They visit the site and see their original & parody works on the site for free. Something they didn't agree to at all. They turn us down immediately.

2) Same scenario as (1) but they see their friend's art work and get upset / turned off from it.

3) We want to work with company ______ in Japan, they happen to work with the license holders of a large number of anime / manga / game series. They cannot work with us due to us hosting parody content due to not wanting to offend their partnering companies in Japan, which could potentially ruin their relationships.

This is a business decision that needed to happen in order for us to grow FAKKU. To allow us to work with more artists and companies so that we can provide you, the fans, with more content in the highest quality possible.

If you do not believe it is worth $12.95 then that is your opinion to have. Everyone is entitled to how they want to spend their money. Personally (disregarding the fact that I work for FAKKU), I think $12.95 is a pretty fair price to the amount of content being produced. I own over 400 something physical doujinshi and a few books from Japan, each doujinshi cost me about $15~$25 after shipping and proxy fees from Japan -> US. In the US, you are looking at about $20~$25 for a single book of doujinshi if buying it from a vendor at a con. $12.95/mo for access to a large selection of 18+ works from artists that I already support by buying their books from Japan?
