Guys, don't count on me since my account has expired.
I don't plan to renew, as I am not interested in about everything the network draws as I have particular tastes.
I have seen the effects of piracy first hand as a former exhentai member, uploading hundreds of works bought on Dlsite or even doujins I shipped and scanned.
Even when my favourite dlsite artist contacted me because of his declining sales I kept going, and gradually he put more and more DRM on his works, useless as I know my way around them but sadly his japanese customers now can't enjoy his work the way they used to and are forced to open pdf/dlsite viewer and put passwords which obviously is a fucking pain in the ass when all you want is to open a particular set of pictures but can't as you don't even have jpg files anymore.
The double effect of that is that a lot of uploaders don't have the patience or skills to upload properly heavy protected works.What I mean is that once I've stopped uploading, other people took my spot, but I now see a scary amount of uploads that are not even half the resolution of the final work.
You guys don't realize it, but it even affect top tier artists from dlsite.My favourite artist now has uploads on exhentai that are less than half the real resolution and you people will never know it but I do.
Right now I'll keep my "hentai" money for commissions, you might see a lot of high quality Shigure Kosaka pics in the upcoming months.
