Cornep that was their "issue"
With SS what we pay to unlock a chapter went straight to the author/editor/translator. So figure 8 stone per, for 1000 chapters (2500 for 49.99$ means 150$) per reader (if the reader binged all 1000) then the subscription came, 25$ a month to read anything and everything... But. That doesnt go straight to the author/editor/translator... Which the authors etc complained about, naturally, because their income took a major crash lol, especially those popular works who got millions of views per chapter... 8 stone for 1 chapter, 100,000 views... 800,000 stone... After profit splitting even at 10% thats at least 150$ for the author for a single chapter. Maybe more or less. How do you profit share with thousands of authors on a 25$ subscription bought by ... Ill say 100,000 people
So yeah. W.N. shot themselves in the face with that move, screwed the authors etc because i am fairly certain the subscription was not covered in their contract and thoroughly shite on readers who took the economic option and then got shut down and now it has been weeks since W.N. even bothered replying to our complaints and questions
