Open a single chapter and have a few words with everyone.
Recently, the advertisements for free novels can be said to be overwhelming, and there are endless comments that undermine the three views. Many friends who also write novels are also discussing this issue.
Here I will tell you what I think.
Many readers may have encountered this question, why did the novel I was following suddenly become a eunuch?
But has anyone ever wondered why there are eunuchs? Hundreds of author friends in the same circle can almost give the answer to this question without hesitation, that is, subscriptions are bleak (except for winning the lottery, being caught, etc.).
Including myself, I had the idea of working full-time at first, but I still lost to reality because the future of writing novels was unclear and I was not a great person. So I gave up full-time and coded every day after get off work, continuing my work. hobbies.
I have also seen some author friends who ended up renting a house to code on their own because of their love and persistence under the strong pressure of their parents' opposition, but it can be said that 90% of them still failed.
The source of all this is the subscription problem.
There are two aspects that affect subscriptions. In addition to the performance of your own books, the most troublesome thing is piracy.
I believe everyone knows how weak the protection of intellectual property rights is in our country. Piracy is rampant, which has caused great harm to original authors. Because of piracy, there are countless authors who have become eunuchs.
There is one thing to say here.
Why can’t our country produce a 3A-level game masterpiece? Why?
Is it because the technology is not good? No
Is it because we don’t have enough funds? No
Many people will blame domestic game manufacturers for not making progress and making junk games for 999.
But are they really unwilling to do it?
If you want to say the reason, there is only one reason, because even if you make such a AAA game masterpiece, even if it receives rave reviews, you will still face a problem, and that is piracy.
Game manufacturers spend tens of millions to make a AAA-level game. The graphics are amazing, the game experience, and the plot are all great. But even if it is so useful, you are still powerless in the face of piracy.
But those online games that cost NT$999 each have low investment costs but high profits. How do you think they should choose?
Why take the risk of losing money to do 3A? Wouldn't it be better to be simple and make money?
Because the nature of a game company is not only about feelings, but also about making money.
Whether this problem is to be blamed on the game manufacturers or on the many players themselves is a matter of opinion, but piracy is always the biggest hidden danger.
A planner once said that China does not deserve good games!
He is not talking about Chinese game manufacturers, but the many players in China (except genuine players)
The same goes for online articles. Those who support the operation of the industry will always be those who pay.
Yes, good things should be shared with others, but this is not a reason for piracy, because what you are doing is destroying the industry you love.
If the copyright of the creator is not taken seriously, the quality of the original work will only get worse and worse. This is inevitable.
There are many reasons for piracy, many of which are even ridiculous.
There is such a group of pirated readers who feel that they are helping to promote IP adaptations by watching pirated copies, and feel that they have made a great contribution.
However, in addition to the great masters, there are a few authors who can adapt their own books, but 99% (or even higher) of authors cannot do it. Do you think this reason is valid?
There is another part: I am a student and I have no money!
I actually understand this reason. As a student, you don’t have much money at your disposal, so you can’t support genuine copies.
However, this is not the reason for you to be confident!
It is now 2019, and it is no longer the same as before. Many students have money to play games, order takeaways, and buy skins, but if you want to spend money to read novels, you will never have money. Even if you have money, you have to say you have no money.
In fact, there are many such righteous people, don't deny it.
Part of it is because they don't know where to find genuine copies.
This part is a very small minority, but it still exists. They don’t know where the genuine edition is, and they think that what they read is the genuine edition. This kind of readers can be completely forgiven, because they really don’t know the channels for genuine editions.
The most outrageous group of people are like this. They not only think that watching pirated copies is a matter of course, they even think that the people who spend money to watch genuine copies are ZZ. I have seen many such comments that explode the three views, so I will not comment on it.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the book review section will be bombarded.
In such a copyright environment, it is actually easy to classify those who value copyright.
Saying these words may offend many people, and the book review area may explode because of it, but I have the authority to delete posts, so I’m not afraid (with my hands on my hips confidently)
It is true that abusive comments from pirated readers often appear in the book review area. If they are not excessive, I will generally not ban them (the author can see the fan value on the PC), but please respect yourselves!
The meaning of the three views is not to follow the subject. It is not that others watch pirated copies, but I watch the pirated copies. Then if I follow the public, my three views are correct.
Can the author of free novels actually make a profit? Yes, but very little, not enough to support your living expenses. Do you think they generate electricity from love (funny)
If one day you find that online articles disappear or the quality deteriorates and they are all routine novels, if you have been a legitimate reader, you can sigh and complain, you are qualified.
But you were once a pirated reader. You have no right to complain. Please shut up!
Because you are one of the executioners!
If you must find a reason why genuine readers should read genuine editions, it is because they want their favorite authors to make money and write their own stories!
I would like to express my gratitude to all genuine readers. Because of you, every story can be continued. Because of you, the online literature industry can prosper step by step.
