Does anyone else feel kind of guilty for reading manhwas on mangago for free?
I just got a debit card so I put on like the 10€ I have (just a poor 18 yo trying to get into college) and used it to buy coins on lezhin so I could at least buy one or two chapters from manhwas I love.
After doing it, I kind of started to feel bad about reading manga here in mangago bc we kind of are stealing from authors bc they make no money from this. But if mangago didn't exist I would have never been able to read some of the treasures you find here. I don't really know how I exactly feel about it.
What do y'all think about it??? I've heard the argument that giving them out free here is like advertisements and make more ppl aware of and more likely to buy the manga but what do you guys personally think about it
Btw once I get a job (either a part time job during college or a full time job after) I hope to exclusively buy my manhwa on Lezhin and Tappytoon to support the artists and then other ppl who can't afford it can still read it here without the artists going broke.
I think:
1) Some of the most popular manhwas out there wouldn't be anywhere NEAR as popular as they are without these sites.
2) Traffic to this site probably does increase legal viewership as well
I'm a full-time student and I try to pay for the comics I like when I can, but I have to make sure they're something I won't feel bad about spending mon......
