I just refer to a scanlator for opinion.

I say this as a reader, not a scanlator, and I mean every word I say: Fakku Books has been a blessing to the people of Fakku and they don't even realize it. If it was for scanlators they would only get the filth dripping off Wani's ass, let alone filth in general (and I'm not speaking about art obviously). Now everything goes in english, they get dozens and dozens of chapters they would most likely not get otherwise, there's a price to pay but from what I know about scanlation (quite a bit) it wasn't gonna get any better for them, only worse. Scanlation scene has never been so awful, and the dmca and Fakku have absolutely nothing to do with it. I can totally see why someone would bitch and moan given how Fakku started, but the people leaving aren't exactly doing it for greener pastures, unless they like raws.
Then again, some of the people who complain about Fakku are the same jackasses who to this day (with Fakku Books currently under way for much cheaper fees) pay scanlators that barely know japanese
20-30$ for a single WANI chapter just to go "fuck the police", so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Somewhat related... People steal/torrent the releases all the time... Just because someone can't google isn't at fault for jacob getting uncensored pussy for you. Lazy cunts don't eat. There magnets and torrents for everything every fucking where.
