Idk about this one but i think generally, uploaders gets pissed if an upload gets stolen is because they actually spent resources to acquire the chapter to upload and it goes for naught if someone else uploaded when they called dibs on it. For example, official uploaders pay for the chapters then upload it so wasted money if someone stole it. Also, some uploaders are translators and all the effort to translate gets wasted if someone else does it. That’s why uploaders and translator group often put up notices that they are uploading the series before any chapter are even up or when official chapters are announced because they are calling dibs so that no two uploaders waste money/effort on the same chapter that would be shared anyway. That’s just my take anyway, since I’m not an uploader

yeah i get that aspect, i was more so talking about uploaders getting mad about bonus content getting uploaded by outsiders. if its something they already put time into i understand, but i dont get why be upset about bonus stuff that they weren't planning to upload. as a reader, i'd rather have the bonus i guess.
does anyone else get kind of bothered when uploaders have pissing contests over the uploads? i don't get why it matters that someone uploaded a special au chapter that you weren't gonna upload. i get if you were already working on that one, but it doesn't seem to be the case, so what's the issue? and they're always so passive aggressive over it when you're really just asking for a courtesy on a public platform. idk lemme know if i'm missing something
