Creators are paid, however they are paid through a metric system, they have to reach certain milestones to be paid. Less people legally reading, less income to the platform, less income to the plataform less pay, less pay means the story is not worth keeping under a contract, thus risk of cancellation or rushed ending.
If a series is not being translated is ok to illegally read it, however one should support the original release by contributing to views or tagging th respective platform on social media, requesting a translation and generating passive free advertisement. Higher demand, better chances.
To be honest, try not to waste your time arguing with people, not many really care about creators, just to be entertained. You'll find people that thinks authors are ""mean"" for not releasing chapter sooner, when actually they are currently making them. Or those that think these stories are manufactured and that there is no real people behind them.
You'll also find people who get terrible upset if a fantranslating group lets go of a series after being sued by the creators (Cofcof, spanish illegal readers of "The Archmage's Daughter").
I understand your frustration, both as a creator and a reader, but its better to avoid fighting with these individuals
