The admin said they have had some struggles getting applications in for devs, but the site isn't going down anytime soon. They're based in Sweden, some of the devs were Swedish, they get 2 months off during the summer by law. The optimistic take is roadblocks came up at a bad time, but wouldn't be surprised if things started working again in the next few months.
Personally, I think it'd be okay if a site like this only imported once every 3 months, before the paywall sites update to block the importer again. It is doable, but less realistic for maintain importers without a much bigger dev team, because paywalls are too upsetti spaghetti about piracy.
I know the argument has been squashed in the past, that a browser plugin and importing from the user-side creates a whole new set of problems for Kemono, having to ensure users aren't importing malicious files. I think given the prevalence of these sites hiring teams to block importers, masking scraping via users simply visiting the pages on their browser and tossing it to Kemono is going to be the next best option.

>>44403 hmm I somewhat agree to that 3months statement , well I think I should focus more on other things instead of roaming here like a ghost

This retarded argument again… please do tell me how sites like Exhentai, f95zone or simpcity can have that but we cant?
>MUH NOT ENOUGH PEOPLEThere are a ton of us that will moderate stuff for FREE, if they added manual imports I'd give my free time as a moderator like ANY OTHER PIRACY SITE IN EXISTENCE.

>>44437None of those sites host the files from users directly that aren't images. Videos and zips go on another cloud storage and video hosting sited, which scan files on their own.
