  • That’s understandable, but not the point of the comic.

    Some sites don’t just off apps but require them for service.

    I read fan translated stories. I tried the paid officially licensed website. Forced app. Tried it. DRM bullshit. Can’t even download a chapter. Tried website on desktop.

    Website literally told me to get a phone and the app…

    They never saw another penny from me. I started donating to fan translations groups and just using machine translations.

    Edit: name and shame.

    I forget the stupid name but webtoon.com got into web novels and it was the absolute worst experience. The translation was fine but slow, extremely expensive and loaded with DRM. If I “unlock” something to read I’d like to download a copy.

    To hell with your “you own nothing” business model. Shit I could buy physical copies of books for cheaper than their crap.


  • I bet mobile phone shoppers are more prone to impulse purchases.

    When I first tried Temu I think I ordered like $50 of items that I didn’t need to rely on while doomscrolling in bed. Thinking it’s the same china knockoff from amazon but cheaper.

    I tried to return most of it and they told me to keep it with a return. It ended up in the trash. Yeah fuck Temu…
