I mean I would love to support the artists and all of that. But why get rid of most of the free content (if not all)? The site needs something to entice people to subscribe. In addition, in a world were hentai and porn in general is free on every godamn site in the internet its not hard to find the same things I find in FAKKU or even more, it seems rather pointless to try and make all of the content legit. At least crunchyroll had the perfect conditions (rising of anime culture and had already became a reference page), people are not going to bother, specially if it leaves traces. I don't know about you, but I don't want to marked as the guy who paid for porn. That's I'll have to say.
Edit: Also all of the lurkers of the site are going to move, you know that right? That is already a huge portion of the Fakku's visitors
To add as I receantly read this:

I am also one of those weird people who if I was a content creator I would be torn between two thoughts. If I made extremely well done doujin of course I would want to be paid. On the other hand I would also want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy it.
I know not everyone thinks that way though, which is why my only complaint about these changes is still just that I cannot comment on new releases.
I know people feel this way but I think that part of being a member of society is doing your part. Monetary compensation is just a piece of the puzzle. If you're a part of the real world you don't wake up, say "I don't wanna," and then go back to sleep. You make sure you get your ass to work on time and you do your 9-5. You don't try to skip out on paying the train fare. You don't tell the power company to suck it. You don't walk out on your restaurant bill because the food didn't satisfy you. You do your part.
I think people come with all sorts of excuses to put FAKKU down because they'd rather not open their wallets. I'm not talking about people who can't afford it. Obviously in the digital age things don't work the same as they used to. But are things
really that much different? It seems to me that people would rather argue and whine than to be an adult. FAKKU did their job, so I'll do mine and pay them. Bosshi did his job and it's up to FAKKU to see him compensated. It's that simple.
Again I get that people are cool with these things in some cases. But for an individual to decide against putting their money where it's due is skipping out on their duty. That's how I see it at least.
The thing is, those examples you are putting are resources being spent and being consumed by the individual. You don't leave the restaurant without paying, because you already consumed the food. You don't lift the middle finger to the power company because you already consumed the electrecity. With virtual copies, I am in no way consuming resources or what the artist made. Now to deepen in the second point, there is a good analogy for this, its theft when you stole a car, but if you made an exact copy of the car, but cheaper is it theft. It doesn't even have the brand on it, so its not stealing the brand's name. In addition you can't exactly prove that I would have buy the product, so its not a loss for the company.There is an interestign experiment, its called the Kopymachin it produces 10k copies of a song each second. Thats a loss of 60 grand each second; following your logic
