Meootim, a comick creator, explains the reasons behind the site closure
Sorry for everyone, for my fatal mistakes, Comick had to close.
Comick I believed it in early 2021. At that time, I noticed that almost all manga sites were slow and outdated, so I thought I could do something better. When Comick became popular in 2023, my dream was to turn it into the best manga site in the world, surpassing everyone else. Over time, he could also help scanning and translation teams and no one had to deal with bad ads if Comick came to dominate completely.
But my big mistake was not to anticipate that the editors were going to pursue the manga sites without a license from the beginning. I focused too much on comick's functions and neglected other aspects. In addition, almost all CDN, Cloudflare and domains suppliers shared my information easily. The editors obtained my real data before I understood the seriousness of the situation.
The reason is that I have always been an honest and direct person, without a wife, and I thought I was not doing anything wrong and that I did not need to hide my identity. I was naive and believed that I could even buy licenses if Comick grew enough, as Crunchyroll did.
In the end, I could not fulfill my dream. I am very sorry I could not keep a comick for everyone. I hope someone arises with more skills than me, who obtains only the minimum advertising income and that helps scan and translation equipment, someone who can continue what I could not finish building.
The platform Comick It was widely recognized among manga fans. Only in August, the site received around 125 million visits, And in the previous three months he exceeded the 375 million, According to data from SimilarWeb, which demonstrates its great influence and popularity within the community.
The closure of Comick It marks the end of an era for thousands of manga fans who found a quick and centralized access to their favorite works on the platform. Although its creator recognizes the errors that led to this decision, the influence of the site and the impact that had on the community will remain.
