It’s been something on my mind for a very very long time. I seldom use the forums here bc I’m really just in to read my fix and get out, but I’ve been reading on mangago since 2012 and finally made this account in 2017 when they switch the site to be nearly unusable with all the redirect ads if you’re not logged in.
In that time period I feel like we’ve seen such a rapid decline in translation quality, where aggregator sites are churning out quick google translations in hopes to direct any sort of traffic to their website, to the point where three copies of a chapter will be uploaded and each one is more illegible than the next. Does anyone else feel as frustrated with this? I feel like it has to do with the massive traction anime and manga got over the pandemic, but I miss the good old days where you knew your favorite scan group by the art in their credit card at the end of chapters, or their warning comics they posted before hand. It’s just sad and feels like a dying art. Not to mention is borderline disrespectful to their artists to mutilate their stories and art to the point where they’re impossible to make sense of and follow. I’ve been reading manga for over a decade now and it just has been on my mind so so much recently.
