I will never stop to be amazed how they estimate the loss piracy brings while manga and especially manwha publishing is mostly a cesspool of unreasonable fragmented paywalls that no sane user wants to use, apart from vast swats of country that got no legal way anyway

Be it paywall or just being too shitty to justify paying, so many series would get zero views if not for piracy.
