Just me, or is Tokyopop STUPID?

I was staring at my manga the other day and I nearly began to cry because of Tokyopop.
There was:
Life (dropped)
Never Give Up (Dropped)
Seduction More Beautiful than Love (Not updated in at least a year)
Nosatsu Junkie (Hiatus)
Dazzle (Not updated in at least 6 months)
Are you kidding me? I followed Life to volume 9 and Never Give Up to Volume 8, and then suddenly you don't want to put it out anymore?! Give me a break.
The best part is that I read up to volume 8 of Never Give Up on the internet and stopped when the volumes started coming out.
Just dropping series doesn't make them stupid, oh no:
TOKYOPOP IS STILL BUYING NEW LICENSES.
To some of my favourite series too:
Shinobi Life
Kaichou wa Maid-Sama
What? Are they going to drop those when they find it inconvenient as well? Not to mention them picking up Haou Airen then never releasing it. The worst part is that since it's licensed in North America most groups wont scanlate the series.
Is it just me or this totally unfair?
I put this in shoujo cause I only read shoujo so I only know about shoujo Tokyopop titles. Are they doing the same with shounen series as well? Or are they just setting shoujo on fire for shounen like Viz?
It's just so frustrating. 😢

Yeah....I know how you feel. -___-;;
I've been waiting forever for the next volumes of Forget About Love, Nosatsu Junkie, V.B. Rose, Never Give Up, Pick of The Litter.... Kicks Diamond Comic Distributors >:-(
But don't worry, new volumes for the manga I mentioned (except for the first one) are going to have new volumes of it soon.
And don't get me started on the Kodansha mangas that TP used to hold before their contract with them expired....
I read so much mangas, I'm too lazy to watch anime! 😛 😛 😛

ugh I know. >>; It really pisses me off when they drop series and pick up new ones. Really, just freakin' finish a series before starting a new one. D:
This is also one of the many reasons why I don't trust buying manga from TP anymore. DX I also hate how they change the covers. Just keep it the same as the original Japanese covers! Grr...

I didn't even realize they dropped that one.
