Is it wrong to never support your favorite series with money?

I am a fan of anime manga, that I am sure of it. But I just don't like spending money when I can get it for free.

no being a fan of a series and being its paypig are two different demographics

unless you are poor and cant afford to spend money on your hobbies than fuck you you poor fuck get a job

I mean, given how many revenue streams exist for these things I'd imagine you'd have given to something like One Piece one way or another if that's not just an example pic.
I think you should support the official release in some way or another personally, but that could be anything from buying the manga religiously to buying a shirt to buying a game.
It doesn't take a lot to throw a bit of money their way, though if you're broke or live somewhere where it's too expensive/not even available, that's a different story.

When it's an unpopular niche series I try to support it, gotta nudge the industry a little. There are also the few lone series that don't have good scanlations but do get translated, those I buy them all.
But One Piece? Lol who cares, it's the most popular manga ever. It's pointless to support it.

>it's the most popular manga ever. It's pointless to support it.
Pisstard please

I'm of the opinion that you can't call yourself a fan of a series if you never support at least once. Obviously that doesn't include series that are out of print. Never purchasing a single volume or piece of merchandise, is proof enough that you don't really care about the series or want to see it progress. Also I don't mean that you have to buy everything, but if you never bought at least something, in the series with die if a good number of people did the same.

Holy shit KimetsuChainsawJujutsuwhateverfag I don't care for your faggotry or the drama about which shonen is the most popular this year. OP is a manga with an outstanding amount of circulating copies. I feel zero shame in not buying any even if I like it.

>It's pointless to support it.
I don't understand this approach. I buy the manga volumes because I like to have them to hand if I ever want to do a quick checkup for reference or to simply reread my favourite parts. It's also more wholesome to browse through a volume to show an epic page or part to a friend, rather than ask the friend to "hold on" and awkwardly watch me as I look up the chapter number and slowly find the specific page. It's just nice to have my favourite works in physical form at home.

>gif extremely related, every single faggot in this thread who "doesn't see the point" in having a physical copy of their own

I'm a fan of thousands of media, tho, and it's just not possible to spend the time to spend the money on them all, it's a lot to ask for. What about me, then? I'll go poor. That's why you should support me. Aren't you being selfish? You aren't giving ME money, so I can begin giving my favorites money. These publishers are so greedy too, why aren't paying me aswell to support their manga?

yes

It's easy, it just means you're not as big a fan of it as you thought you were. That's all there is to it.
