i personally think that the artists have a lot to gain from their work being illegally translated initially. it gives them an accurate idea of how many english speakers enjoy their work, they could use the numbers to negotiate getting an official release on apps like webtoon, tapas, and tappytoon. and once they get those numbers they can ask the translators to stop working on the series, which any scans group with self dignity will, and then a lot of us will go buy chapters via the official english release. i don’t buy them tho gg, this will probably be on webtoon for free though since it’s naver.
