Mangadex is basically dead unless they pull a massive reverse course.
Scanlaters out the ass are now either too pissed or scared to upload to them because of how instantly and silently entire series got removed. Guys staying up all night to finish a chapter that was already in a locked series, old chapters not being archived, etc. And the staff basically just giving it all a big shrug of "well what can we do?"
So archive what's left, note down whatever is in your library and move it elsewhere.
The problem is they played a little too nice, and now a literal massbot was able to scare them into self destruction.
Because there is zero chance all the big 3 companies behind this manually tagged a bunch of forgotten manga from 20 years ago that nobody had read in years. They absolutely just sent a bot to do it from their archives.
And as such, MD jumped the gun fast to protect themselves, and in doing so tanked their consumer reliability. Even a single day of "working on it" or just a fucking list would have blunted a lot of the damage towards themselves, while still being compliant. But they cowered and refused to even acknowledge it beyond "hey we got a DMCA, soz" while people panicked wondering individually why their stuff was gone.
