There is a trend currently were fan translaters are paywalling the latest chapters, with poor translations. What are your thoughts on this? I don't mind asking for donations, but asking for money with mediocre translation is scammy.

The majority of the proceeds better go to the original author of the chapter

    Doubt it, only a small part will go the originl author which is the price required to purchase the chapter which is a few coins on Naver equivalent to $0.10, while manga is equivalent to $1 or $2. Some will go to the translator, but judging by the horrible quality of the translation probably not much and the editers, and the rest will go the owners of the site.
