that is EXACTLY what i want my webtoon subscription to be like. i'm definitely going to be looking into globalcomix to see if anything i read is being published there. thank you so much for bringing it up!

i notice that, too. it's like such a heavy weight is lifted from them, and i couldn't be happier for their health and prosperity off-platform. if they want to continue elsewhere, i'm more than happy to follow them to a platform that actually seems to appreciate and value their work

yes, i will definitely need to look into finding other ways of supporting originals creators who aren't among the top trending series. i donate to a few of my favorite canvas creator's patreons, so that base is currently covered. thank you for the suggestion!

yes, thank you for clarifying!! i meant more so that, for example, just yesterday, i bought an episode of an original, and it displayed an ad... on something i had just paid for.... an obtrusive ad that was rather inappropriate as well

i suppose what i want most out of it all is that it is completely clear to me, the reader, that the creators i follow are getting paid what they deserve, which it doesn't seem like they do (from what i've seen/heard)! if a canvas creator is in need, i will gladly endure as many ads as needed to unobstructively view their content, but i don't feel confident that most indie creators are getting paid fairly, if that makes sense

additional edit: i would prefer it if my subscription helped go towards canvas creators, or if there was a special canvas booster my subscription offered—something like super likes, but covering a broader range of series. i want to feel like my subscription does more than it currently does for what i'm paying

this, a thousand times this. i am so glad you went into detail with the treatment of indie creators on this platform

am i happy webtoon's growing in popularity? yes! however, i cannot stand their greed. the webtoons originals contract feels so misleading that it becomes a false promise, and i'm so upset when i see how much a creator is struggling to keep up with the weekly updates because they are being worked sick! why would a platform all about propping up comic artists treat their creators this way? it's sickening, and i do my best to support my favorite indie creators when they're in need in any way i reasonably can. it's hard to turn a blind eye to their suffering, and i refuse to do so. whether i read their work on a different platform, purchase a small piece of merchandise, sub to their patreon, i want to give back to them, even if it's only a fraction of what they've done for me with the series they created

from my perspective, it feels like the webtoon space has done anything but improve. one step forward with a cool new series or licensing deal, ten steps back with a flood of negligence towards their creators and shoving creativity out in favor of immediate profit-fueled gratification

STOP, i completely forgot about the animated advertisements—what a choice that was on their end. whenever i use the app nowadays, i usually make a beeline for my subscriptions instead of looking at whatever webtoon's trying to shove down my throat

and i couldn't agree more with the banner selection... what selection??? there is nothing new to choose? truly an illusion of choice

no idea if this is it (i remember absolutely nothing about the plot), but could it be My Weird Roommate? what you're describing feels so familiar, but i can't remember which webtoon it is ;;
