They told me the chapter was only available for Premium users at the moment, and that it would roll out to free users eventually; which in actuality never happened, which makes me believe that not even they know what they're doing and seem to be experimenting. I tried to make them aware of the negative consequences of such strategy; including the fact that on this wiki, one of the largest AoT fansites on the Internet with around 80k visits every day, we read and recommend Crunchyroll due to its freeware format and even that our policies and daily routine are based around them; but that if the chapters would still be Premium-only, we would abandon them and switch to Amazon, because most of us can't or aren't willing to pay such a high price only to read the latest chapters when Amazon is a more accessible option. They seemingly escalated my conversation but after that I didn't receive any further response, so I don't really know what they're going to do.

However, the plan is still the same. If tomorrow's chapter is Premium-only again, we will stop linking Crunchyroll and switch all of our links and policies to Amazon. That will still affect the portion of the fanbase that can't buy the chapters for several reasons (like lacking a credit card) or simply that don't want to buy them and will flee to scanlation pages, but from our part we have no other option.
