Fan translators asking for payment for latest chapters for comics, webtoons, manhwa, manga... (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There is a trend currently were fan translaters are paywalling the latest chapters, with poor translations. What are your thoughts on this? I don't mind asking for donations, but asking for money with mediocre translation is scammy.

Not to defend scummy Business practices but as an avid reader of asura scans i gotta give them Credit for free to read and actually good translations (i haven’t bought a subscription). My experience was good and in my eyes while there is hiccups here and there they tend to put in the effort.

They are not that bad compared to the others I listed, but there translation has been getting worse these days. Also they drop stuff on a whim.
