I feel like I should point out that people who usually watch stuff that is pirated will not otherwise watch or read that content even if the site didn't exist. There will of course be people who can pay but don't want to but for the most part the people who read here are those that won't be able to read those Mangas even if this site didn't exist.
It's the same thing that Netflix and Amazon etc say. They assume that there is a loss of money because of piracy but that money wouldn't have been generated anyway because the people who pirate that stuff wouldn't have gotten a subscription anyway.


Aside from that a lot of the stuff here is old, or Mangas and toons that would never be translated otherwise. Or isn't available on official sites or apps that translate to English.

Also also a chunk of people who read it here inadvertently advertise or hype up the manga or toons on social media which creates more customers for the author.
