Removing a right? Where is written WN owes the reader fast passes? Be it generic or not?
Sorry, but your parable is weird. It kind of didn't apply at all at the situation in hand.
You stated he's a cat lover. Once a cat lover, always a cat lover. One person can't just walk into Mordor ops, quit being a cat lover. πΈ
If you mean the readers that only read for free are like the cats in your little story... Webnovel still provides free passes. It's not poisoned cat food/expired food. It's good cat food, but perhaps is not always tuna-flavored, but chicken, or salmon.
The shopkeeper now buys the food that's on sale and decided he won't allow the cats to pick from ~38 different cans what they will eat anymore. There's too much stray cats at his door, cats that are occupying store space and even annoying some customers... and causing the prices of his store to raise because the shopkeeper needs to provide for all the stray cats a lot of different food and snacks and toys.
Just to remind you guys, when you buy a product to resell, you need to inventory it and calculate all the costs to sell it to make its final price. So, when a reader complains about fast passes, they are unaware other people are paying for their free reading. Webnovel needs to calculate the loss of offering free reading to attracts prospective paying customers and dilutes this cost somehow... We did this math once but there's a single truth: someone is paying for all the free reading.
The shopkeeper is putting the cans of cat food on the costs of operating the store. So, if it becomes a huge cost and the paying customers cannot enter the shop or are complaining about the prices, he needs to make a choice. He opted to reduce the cans of cat food and not serve a lot of them at once.
But is seems some cats here rather wish to steal food while others will comply with the varied new food and be content for being fed.
And yeah, it seems the cat can go anywhere to get free food of their liking.
I'm used to go to Sephora and earn the samples they have to offer me, not from the product I use to buy. I go to Lezhin Comics and receive daily coins for specific titles from my favorite genre and related ones. It's this way or nothing.
it's not my right to get a sample or free coins, but a marketing strategy from the companies to SELL MORE. Not to give away and get nothing in return.
How can I blame them?
