Privilege /Ch.388

The news is about Privilege.

I've been notified that there is a new policy for Privilege. It seems they are going to make it a sitewide requirement for contracted. It is not compulsory but it is highly recommended. Also, if you don't do it, your book will have even less of a chance to be recommended (No exposure). 

The reason for this Privilege is because WN has a hard time dealing with piracy even with DMCA, takedown, or whatever it is. They want to use Privilege to fight it since it will be harder to get it.

I will try to explain the Privilege thingy.

P.S: If you buy privilege, you will get the privilege for a month. You can say it is like mini-Patreon on this site.

Of course, I won't stop the normal production 2chs/day just to make this privilege, so don't worry. Even if you don't buy privilege, you will still get your daily 2chs like normal.

5. (Gift Function): Well, there is a gift function where we can donate to the authors… For this, I can't say anything since it is not very beneficial. Google/Apple, as well as WN, take a significant share in this, while the one that comes to my way is… Ugh, I will just give you one example: I got less than $1 from the total gifts sent last month...

Of course, I am very thankful and appreciated for your continuous support.

6. (Personal Opinion): Well, I don't really like the Privilege System for various reasons such as public dislike, release rate, money, and so on.

In truth, my personal reasons are 'it is hard to write' and 'I prefer normal Mass Release rather than releasing it in Privilege.' 

Anyway, that's the end of this privilege thingy. All in all, I want to apologize for this inconvenience, and thank you for your continuous support.
