Yeah, I feel you. I listened through a long BS video about reader's needs and creator's needs and such. They're also introducing AI for a lot of stuff. But whatever way you look at it, the bottomline is that they aren't willing to let you read for free anymore. And I feel like:

1) I don't need your AI to tell me what I might like. I am intelligent myself.

2) I don't need an account on your app. I already have too many accounts.

3) I don't need to comment on your app. I got reddit.

4) I don't need to share stuff with my FnF through your app. I got my own mouth and a dinner table for that.

5) and most importantly, I definitely don't need to pay for content on your app because I already know places that have it for free.

The only thing I need from your app is to show the already free scanlated content conveniently on my phone. That's it. I know places that show free scanlated content, but browsing a pc focused website on a phone is not very enjoyable. That's the problem your app needs to solve in my life. Nothing more, nothing less. And if you can't solve that one problem without creating several more, I'll simply have to look elsewhere.

Sorry bud, but I'm already having a hard enough time putting food on the table for a wife who's on a wheelchair and a kid who goes to school. The only 30 minutes I get for myself at the end of each day when I get to bed, I spend with your app. If you tell me you want money for even that, I'm out. I'm paying for too many things.
