Ive post this in the first thread that Qi open up about premium features and i dont want this to get buried. Put this up again as i hope Qidian can improve as i dont deny it i read qi everyday as i read ww,grav,volare...
Guys.. you all that support qi for premium features, u do realize that this is INTERNET.. people will and always have back doors for whatever... hell!! even porn in 90s need to be paid, now?? Its free because they realize People keep getting free porn from everywhere else. And now for this "goods" like literature... if qidian keep on pushing people to the edge, at 1 point they will feel "fck it, im gonna go and look from some other places". dont even talk abut supporting the translators or the authors.
Authors have their target income from local, international readers only count a meager penny (dont deny it qi, i read your CEO interview regarding international readers)
Translator income? Well this is a very delicate things to discuss.. i dont want to touch that forbidden area,
BUT i hope all qidian translator read this.., you all are at company side so dont give your opinion or comment in here, because thats not your job. I have my own company and i know what my workers should be doing, and who should do the PR work. Thats the consequences when you join qi, if its website like ww,grav,volare, all the translator have their own right to voice their opinion in where the website going. I dont wanna offend translator because i really do respect and appreciate the hard work but you guys shouldnt forget how you all start from those websites or even blogspot and what community have put you guys above, if theres no grav and cktalon/legge mass releasing im really superstar and TMW until gravity website crash (someone donated hundreds of dollars) NO ONE will know who cktalon/legge is. so please respect the community by not joining this muddy waters.
Back to qi premium,
Im just a fans i dont mind spending ss or donating to translators, having lots of ads in website (heck its internet) but by differentiating the cost of chapter by using words count is a dick move, this is my most concern in this premium features. And please change your business model.. its freaking 2018, majority readers here are new readers that will follow u, but once they integrated to the community they will realise theres a lot of way to read book, and thats where u will lost. And once again remember we all international readers dont have great wall in our internet so we all are free where we wanna go.
Cheers..
