ssound5rs Because of their customer service, business strategies and marketing ploys that feel like a scam.
I dont agree with the way they treat customers, especially paying customers.
Some people are mentally vulnerable and they read to escape the pain in their lives by reading and escaping to these worlds in the novels. If these people get addicted to the novels here, they may end up spending an exorbitant amount of money because they may not be thinking rationally.
Some of these people are the big spenders who spend over $100-200 a month to be able to read to their satisfaction. I dont like how this company manipulates people, especially vulnerable people who actually cant afford to read on this app.
I like the idea of spreading the joy of webnovels and having a big platform that people can rely on for ease of use, but I disagree with the methods of this company and how it treats people's passion for reading and writing. So unless they change how they treat their customers, I think it is not a good thing for people to discover the app.
Reading addiction is a real thing, just like Alcohol addiction, Gambling addiction and Drug Addiction.
As a big company with alot of reach and power, I think they have a responsibility to be good humans.
They are the influencers, movers & shakers of our webnovel world. Of course people should be responsible for themselves, but not everyone has a good sense of self control. And in my eyes, their marketing methods target these sort of people.
