There is a trend currently were fan translaters are paywalling the latest chapters, with poor translations. What are your thoughts on this? I don't mind asking for donations, but asking for money with mediocre translation is scammy.

as long as they pay

To who?

To the IP licensors? Nah. Pass. Prefer piracy.

To the creators? Arguably much better.

How to control intermediaries in those cases?

Also payment processor information usually requires KYC crap and puts people in lots of danger of fire from trigger-happy companies (or governments).
