Let's think of hentai books like hamburgers, and the new page-covering advertisements like samples of wasabi.
Personally, I don't like wasabi. Of course, if stomaching a sample of wasabi earns me a hamburger, I'll do it. However, if instead you give me a hamburger with a ball of wasabi hidden inside, you're doing nothing but ruining my fucking hamburger.
"Oh oh oh, but Fakku GOLD doesn't have to deal with that! You should just-"
Yeah, no. Before you start to give me freemium-gospel, try considering how downright tragic it is that even free porn can feel P2W nowadays. As mentioned though, I can take the wasabi on the side; please just put the ad at the start of the book rather than the middle.
People kept saying "Hey you dirty pirates, you're hurting the artist, but Fakku books supports the industry!" and I understood and accepted that, but at this point I just feel like never really using this site, which isn't doing "the industry" any favors at all. Again, don't chuck advertisements into the middle of books. That's certainly not putting a dent in pirating.
We're testing out the new advertisement this week, which are designed specifically for FAKKU. The goal is to replace the existing popunders (which are pretty awful), with something a little more appropriate. We'll be listening to all feedback about it and we're already planning to move it to the front of the pages rather than randomly in the middle. That should keep the wasabi from being a surprise when you're in the middle of a delicious burger.
Regardless, if everyone hates the new type of advertisement and it's not working out we will remove it.
