The removal of Scanlations from the site to become "legit"

Real talk here. With the recent interview of Jacob on ANN we had confirmed (as many have speculated) that scanlations would be removed entirely from site in order for Fakku to become legit.
If this does happen I truly wonder what the consequences will be and such, because whilst I couldn't have given a dam about controversial media/tags disappearing. This however really does concern me what use will most people have for fakku if it becomes a Crunchy-roll for hentai (differing in the fact that Fakku hasn't illegally sold copyrighted material in the past lol) which is going down btw.

Say a user like myself who has a modest amount of disposable income purchases the four books as I have done so and downloads them, then what the hell will prompt them to come back? After they have bought the media they desired the lure of free content is what sucks people in, and is in-arguably the reason why in-app purchases and free to play games ( f2p) like League of Legends and Dota have been -so- succesful.

Imagine if YouTube was to go all paid content tonight, literally almost everyone using YouTube wouldn't use it anymore (or rather couldn't).

I honestly can't see a solution to this as I have the books I want now, so what's to make me check back? Regardless of if there is free content for buyers or not, if I don't get lured by the free/scanlations/ohhshinynewstuff to then consequently what's to get me to see the notification that I have free/paid stuff?

Am I going too have to do what I did with steam mods initially, in a panic download the top 500 mods+ critical for operation mods in a hurry and upload to a torrent for seeding? Except this time with hentai and on a much larger scale.

What would be your thoughts on me doing this or anyone for that matter, the removal of the scanlations from the site and consider how/if it will affect site usage?(removal unavoidable)

P.S I have about three terabytes of storage, a script that hopefully I can get working again to download manga in a batch form and 500GB a month of Internet. Any guesstimates of the size of stuff unique to fakku and do you want me /someone else to do this or is this a useless idea?

The reader and coming sorting options make me want to stay, exhentai is.. Strange sad panda and puri. Isn't being updated but that's besides the point im worried about what'll happen

Whilst I can't respond just yet due to the limitations of phone typing. I wanted to say Ive read and agree on various points but I feel like I didn't go into enough detail about my point or perhaps I mis-worded

TL:DR: Reply soon

Unfortunately I was unable to find the article and research papers that I was going to use to back up my argument so unfortunately a unplanned comment will have to suffice.

In response to your first point the publication of magazines will probably be pretty amazing, however depending upon the police structure and format and whether or not we are allowed to preview inside of the magazine could end up being a large amount of waste for certain people depending on their tastes. The other issue of subscription services is that they add up, some people would much rather just buy the books that they are interested in, this just speculation at the moment.

Secondly you make the point about YouTube offering completely legal content, this is untrue as if it wasn't the case there would be no copyright takedowns, the reason Google can get away with this is because of a specific clause in copyright law that means you often cannot prosecute the site owners for -user- uploaded content as it is here. Honestly wani and others should suck it up as there are plenty of sites that do this unfortunately the admins of the site have to be completely uninvolved and not helping users in any way break the law (rip groove shark). On another note I've seen sites straight up ignore DCMA notices because they know they won't be taken to court, there is a very good reason they are referred to as letters of the bullies.

The paper I was looking for was meant to show how 89% or something of the web is driven by advertisement, however I can give a real life example of free user content driven by ads, AnimeLab (and c.roll).

AnimeLab is a simulpub anime and past series provider, it's run by Australia's largest importer of anime by far, pretty much all of it is imported by them, heck even movies are brought in by them and often dubbed by their staff, the kicker is the content is free or paid your choice, ofc paid has advantages but you can literally watch anime for only 1ad that is 15-30 seconds and no more till you finish it, with no scrubbing forward equalling ads. They advertise a huge amount of stuff, I've seen manga, movies, anime movies, jap drama, anime, even some western indie stuff, all MadMen Entertainment supported, they have established a rapport with their audience they get way enough sales to cover the costs and these adds serve only to further it. The key point however is it will be region locked, I'm thinking that the worlds largest speaking hentai site could achieve something like this. One for europe, another for Asia, Oceania, Americas and far north countries. Each region having a dedicated supplier ( they already exist) form a contract with Fakku to advertise when fakku says they can bring x views and the supplier can offer x discount. With each region getting tailored ads on a flexible platform that the supplier can easily submit to. This is all think tank stuff however.

Finally, I haven't ever been really been disappointed with Fakkus publishing services, I've really enjoyed them all and the art is quite a wonder to behold. That said I leave an some analogys as my last points (I love them).

When you go to a car dealership with the intention to buy, you get what you can afford/be loaned+savings.You don't come back for another car unless your obscenely rich, how will fakku account for this? Granted we are talking about porn but I sure know that the books I have will last me a long time. In addition I think prices will definitely have to be adjusted especially on the digital format to the demand expected, imagine if newspapers were like $15? They sure aren't art but they have a lot of ads and content subsidised by it.


Sorry for the rant, couldn't find article so I didn't fuss myself and wrote in a fairly un-sustained and poorly synthesised manner. Hope it makes a little more sense?

Talkin bout all of youtubes content brutha, some of that is straight up illegal
