Welcome to c/anime on Hexbear!

Simple rules

High quality threads you should definitely visit
Gigathread: Good Anime Talks, Presentations, Conventions, Panels, etc
Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://9anime.to/ and https://4anime.to/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

why are you taking about it in past tense
They're switching to being a Plex-style bring your own content app, so you'll need to pirate your own comics and then just put them in a folder. It's becoming just a reader app for cbr or cbz files.

Straight from the horse's mouth. Also, read the original post, Kakao is also going after all forks.
I doubt corporate lawyers are intelligent enough to understand forks can then be hosted on websites other than GitHub tbh. i wouldn't be surprised if a fork emerges when this situation settles, just not on GitHub
They're going to be playing whac-a-mole for sure. IMO, the most likely outcome is that a number of major forks are also toast, new forks in made the next couple of months are likely to get DMCA-ed, and a new successor will emerge later this year that barely resembles Tachiyomi as it is, has a bunch of lame compromises, and will only have a tiny sliver of the userbase or developers that currently exist.
Just like what happened with Vanced, basically.
Revanced is definitely better than OG vanced
