for me, this is sad - Fakku was one of the best, if not THE BEST hentai site I've known - and I've got through a lot of them. however, not only did you delete nearly 80% of what you accumulated, but you also created a barrier which I will not be able to pass through - in my country, 9,99% or more per month is a lot. really a lot, I cannot afford to pay for doujins, especially since you
1. do not have regional pricing, or any other way for me to deal with the costly price (especially with the paypal issue)
2. do not offer so much unique content that I am willing to cry and try to pay for it
Don't get me wrong, I fully understand why you did it and I can relate, however, you are dealing with an issue only from one side, and you're not offering anything for those who do not support you - you are creating a small, closed community fixated around "legal" stuff, while still walking on the line of law. That, and the fact that you've limited your offer to only "licenced" scanlators essentially means that you are going to lose a lot of subscribers. Most of them won't even try to talk on the forum - they will just leave, plain and simple.
Fakku was, and at the moment, still is one of the beacons in this type of network material, however, it will not hold. I really hope you rethink your decision, or at least find a way for more people, poor people, like me, to enjoy your content.
that's fine in my opinion. the price point is set not only to be cheap, but also to be supportive of the growth of the site. how many adult sites are there, hentai sites even, request 13$ for monthly sub? not to mention, are those even published as theirs with the consent of the artist? properly uncensored straight from the artist's hands? no. the price point and the features fakku is offering is top tier good. but as said, people have taken for granted that these hentai is supposedly available for free.
imagine people ripping you off of your hard work. imagine that your potential sales can skyrocket but dont, because people outside your physical reach dont pay shit. that's what we've been doing before. and if you have some sense of pride as a man, and did your research, you'd should be saying sorry right now to both fakku and the artists/publishers. the price fakku is asking for in relation to what they are offering, have you seen their price as raw Japanese product? now add the benefit of being translated and uncensored. think bigger, use the brain more and not the lower head.
cant afford? i suggest you find ways to afford. go with every other month or quarterly. sacrifice something you spend on for yourself like tissue paper (then again... what to use when fapping... bad idea.) but that price point is already fair if you actually understood the price of porn. remember that this is a company with around a dozen people, trying to cater all countries except japan for quality English uncensored hentai originals. can you just imagine the task at hand if they try making localized prices for each country? and aside that, the complaints people would do if they see one country can get it cheaper than others?
this is what separates men from leeches. this is what separates men from pirates.
