Discussion A Vent About Comic Platforms
I’ve been developing a comic since I was 11 years old and have just recently started finally drawing out panels. This has been what I would consider my passion project and as soon as I start putting it into motion everything came crashing down. It was irritating enough when Webtoon started occasionally putting an ad banner at the top of your screen that you had to wait to skip, but now they’re randomly flashing ads on your screen IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EPISODE. With Tapas shutting down and now this, my heart is broken. I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore and now I don’t even want to read the webcomics I love so dearly because an ad will just pop up and completely ruin my immersion. I no longer feel like I can share the passion I worked so hard on because companies are just so money hungry. I know there are other platforms out there but I don’t know anything about them and who knows how long they’re last before they too fall victim to this ai bullshit. I don’t really know what I want to come from posting this, I just needed to vent about this because I feel so hopeless. If anyone has like, a good website for sharing a dystopian webcomic, I’m definitely open to suggestions. Also totally open to other people who want to talk about all of this bullshit lol.
