It's a double-edged sword.
People wont buy a game/music/manga because it's avaiable for free though illegal methods, they're just making a excuse for not buying the manga.
it doesnt hurt the author since he will receive popularity.
It is comparable since it's about quality, your notion of quality and a huge majority is that paper manga > online manga thus justifying the purchase.This is not comparable. But it's good to have paper manga and not only numeric manga.
