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.

The majority of the proceeds better go to the original author of the chapter

You got a source on that? Because somehow I doubt it.

You probably missed the word "better" in there.
