Fandom Problem #15,064:

I don't know how the manga/manhwa industry work,

But why is there an awful lot of hiatuses for health reasons ???

Are they being worked to the bones or something?!!!

[fingerdownthebooksspine]

Yes.

The manwha and manga industry (and anime industry) are infamous for working their creators to death in several cases. (A lot die young for many reasons)

Especially in countries that have a work culture that's already unhealthy. (Overtime is expected. You don't question the boss. They do not believe in delays)

Editors are God, and many creators give up sleep and sacrifice their health to meet deadlines. Crunch is killer. Even with teams, many creators struggle because of the demand. And editors can demand last minute changes that can leave people scrambling.

Hell, a couple years ago MAPPA was under fire because their animators were getting animation out the morning of the episode airing.

And they make a pittance of a wage.

Is it me or are YouTube’s ads WAY more aggressive now and they seem to be shoving AI down our throats even more than they usually do?

[fingerdownthebooksspine]

this is why i "watched" in the Firefox app with adblocks on. There's more ads than actual videos now

[emeraldmercury]

I already do that on desktop, it’s mobile that’s the problem because YK, no ad blockers…

[fingerdownthebooksspine]

Not sure if it's just my phone or not. But the app allows me to put extensions on my mobile Firefox application. Admittedly though YouTube does like to beef up its defenses a lot....
