If I had to guess, I would say Manga 100% and if I had to put a second place, it would be DENUVO (fucked) games.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for expressing an opinion... an opinion based on current trends, at that. Mangadex just had a large chunk of work wiped out and many translations are only on Mangadex or translator websites with no torrent. This is a fact. Not hard to be worried that further takedowns will affect access to niche manga.

    There are a lot of sketchier sites out there. If you want to read something, there is somewhere out there hosting it. Mangadex was great in that it was really quite a cool public service but capitalism doesnt let us have shit things, much less nice things. It hurts too, because for every Shonen boy who tries really hard and makes Jump a ton of money, there are a hundred manga that are never translated officially and a thousand more never translated at all, and Ill be totally honest, I could not give less of a shit about Demon Slayer or JJK. Some titles only have english fan bases because of manga pirates.

    Fair point. Although the problem with those sketchier sites is they usually slap watermarks all over the images and scrape the first release of a chapter regardless of the translation group, which results in very spotty quality. There are absolutely series where certain translation groups or anonymous uploaders snipe it with terrible quality and it's not worth reading until the better group translates it, but the scraper websites don't update their chapters.
