Now you might ask, what is Mangagamer supposed to do about this? They don't make a lot of money as it is, so maybe they simply wouldn't be able to function without paying poverty wages. And to that I say, a company that can only function through exploitation of its workers shouldn't be allowed to exist. They're a failure of a business by any reasonable metric, but they can coast by indefinitely because there will always be new people to exploit. It's also worth mentioning that MG is extremely risk-averse and has constantly been resistant to things like Kickstarter, for example. Say what you will about Kickstarter, but at least it makes it possible to pay your workers a decent wage. But it's pretty evident that MG doesn't view its wages as a crisis like they should be. It's their model working as intended.

This is what caught my eye. Cause in a sense, it's not MangaGamer's fault that there's so few things sold which makes it so they can't pay people properly. But it's clearly them doing something wrong. If they are fine with how things currently are, I feel like the higher ups in that company are making money just fine and they are resistant to things like Kickstarted because then the people they employ would get decent wages. Which would then make it so people won't do the work unless they are getting the decent wages.

And to that I say, a company that can only function through exploitation of its workers shouldn't be allowed to exist.

This made me laugh. MangaGamer is an American company right? All American companies exist because they can exploit their workers.

Even if they aren't an American company, it's probably pretty true wherever it's located.
