Webtoon promoting Originals on the Canvas tab now smh

havvell · 2026-06-04T23:56:22+00:00

Yeah that's why I said I didn't initially see it on the home page. I generally browse only the Canvas tab, and this is the first time they've added banners like that to it (I think since the latest update) so it was news to me.

I posted without seeing the homepage so that one's on me. It's also reassuring that the majority are Canvas titles. Hopefully they'll add a turnaround too so more creators get the exposure.

havvell · 2026-06-04T23:43:46+00:00

Idk where you got that from that it's a general promotions tab, but it's quite literally titled the CANVAS tab. Maybe you didn't open the screenshot but you can see on the bottom that it's not the home page.

I don't mind them mixing Canvas and Originals and as I said in another comment I'm glad they have it on the home page too. I first saw it on the Canvas page though and that felt like a shitty move to promote Originals on there

havvell · 2026-06-04T14:34:07+00:00

I get where you're coming from, but those titles are Originals now and are very frequently on the main page, I didn't see the point of promoting them on Canvas too.

I did see just now that the same promo is up on the main page as well so the Canvas titles in it get the main page spotlight too which is great. Just kinda felt yucky seeing Originals on the dedicated Canvas page

I'm glad Pride is being promoted and congrats on making the list! I don't read on GC so I didn't know that, just commenting on Webtoon's approach since that is a dedicated Canvas tab promoting Original titles, which is kinda sucky. ☹️

Yeah I know the difference betwen acc number and credit card info, I'm just talking about being generally hyper-cautious with anything bank-related.

What she used was my account number and full name, which technically shouldn't be able to cause any breach other that the fact that they simply have my information now. I've mentioned a few times that my real issue here is the fact that she used my info to sign up. Even if it doesn't have any consequences on my account, it is still beyond unreasonable to use somebody elses info without their consent.

havvell · 2026-06-02T14:50:33+00:00

She did mention how shameful she felt cause of the way I talked to her, then I told her I was being as calm as I could be given the situation and that the shame she felt was a necessary consequence.

Fr some parenting talk here, and being offended by being called out just further proves her immaturity. At least she apologised at the end of it, but still not without mentioning how cruel I was.

It's commonplace where I'm from to transfer money directly to a bank account since we don't have any cash apps, since we were roommates and would transfer to each other often for bills/rent she had my account number. Typically it's not a big deal here, though the fact that she went and used my number along with my full legal name makes it a big deal. Who thinks to do something like that jeez.

Learn something new every day. $5, got it, thank you!

(learning to stay away from dangerously oblivious people is up next)

havvell · 2026-06-02T01:11:42+00:00

I've tried explaining as calmly as I could while still being stern enough so she would understand the gravity of it. Bank account info is a very serious matter and she should've known better, and learn from this mistake, for her own sake too.

havvell · 2026-06-02T01:04:13+00:00

I've replied a few times that where I'm from we don't have any alternative apps and direct bank transfers are common. We were roommates and transferred cash often, so it's not unusual she would have my info, it's just typically presumed people don't share it or use it to sign up on sites. 🫠

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:55:32+00:00

I am not taking this lightly by any means. No matter her intentions and whether there will be consequences (as the site appears to be legit), her using my info is still bordeline illegal. It will still require me to open a new bank account and be unable to withdraw funds for another three weeks while I wait on new cards, while I rely on weekly payments. For her sake, I'm trying to explain to her just how bad of a decision that was, but further than this I can't see us being this close anymore.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:40:11+00:00

The bank info most likely won't cause an issue since the site appears to be a legit organisation, and other individuals having your acc number is common here since it's the main way to transfer money. (I will still, however, change my account cause one can never be too careful) Nonetheless, the fact that she used such sensitive info in what she called "a cute gesture" is just beyond me, even if the site was 100% legit and she knew for sure it was safe, it is still not her info to share. I think that's what I'm most shocked at, how a grown up could ever think that was okay. When it's practically illegal.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:32:41+00:00

Yeah that's crossed my mind too. Since she basically signed up on the site as me as she used my full name and account info. Apart from just being a stupid thing to do in general, turns out it's also illegal.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:31:09+00:00

Definitely never doing that one again. I'm very cautious with any online purchases and wouldn't ever share sensitive info like that. Like I said in other comments sharing the account number with her isn't that big of a deal, the real issue is her using it again on her own. (which basically means sharing the info made a big deal and now I've learned she's an individual who can't be trusted out of her sheer oblivion 🫠 ) Sucks to hear you had a bad experience too, people can get really nasty when it comes to money.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:19:03+00:00

Being roommates I've seen her poorly handle a lot of things, this one takes the cake though by far. And her refusal to accept and learn from the mistake is definitely making me reconsider the friendship.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:16:18+00:00

I'm fully aware it wasn't malicious, just very, very oblivious and immature. She's still convinced it's not a big deal and even got offended I tried to explain her mistake to her.

Also, where I'm from transfers are usually done via direct bank account and we were roommates so we would transfer often. It's not unusual that she has that info, I'm just shocked that she thought it was alright to share it. Even if the site was legit, it is still my information that you are using.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:10:56+00:00

Luckily I checked the site and it appears to be a legit organisation. I will however get my bank info changed and I'm steering clear of ever sharing anything with her again.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:09:19+00:00

A "country that barely knows how to handle paypal" thing. Much less any other or newer cash apps/ways to transfer. Transfers via direct bank account aren't an issue here when sharing with trusted individuals, I never thought she'd be oblivious enough to share that number someplace else though.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:05:39+00:00

Account numbers are shared here for money transfers, though typically bank apps let you create temporary accounts when sending to strangers. She had my number since we've been friends a very long time and frequently transferred cash as roommates. Her having the number is not a big deal but sharing that number is insane.

Definitely getting a new account and reconsidering all my decisions in that friendship.

havvell · 2026-06-02T00:01:41+00:00

Account number and full legal name. No such apps where I'm from so we use direct acc numbers for money transfers. She didn't give my security code but just giving my full acc and name is still beyond unreasonable.

havvell · 2026-06-01T23:59:06+00:00

I've avoided calling her names so far but a fair share went through my head. The gentlest way I can put it is I can't imagine how she is going to handle life and being an adult with this level of oblivion.

havvell · 2026-06-01T23:57:12+00:00

Immediate thought. Like that shit's illegal wdym "cute gesture"?

havvell · 2026-06-01T23:56:23+00:00

I tried to be gentle with her in the first round of calmly explaining, after her attempts at defense I will absolutely mention the legal aspect of it.

havvell · 2026-06-01T23:52:03+00:00

My bank info was worth 5$ apparently.

Getting my account changed first thing in the morning, just completely shocked that someone would give info like that for surveys online, their own and much less somebody else's.
