For the canvas series I read, I am searching for alternate places where the creator hosts them and shoving them in my webcomics RSS feed as a result of this.
RSS feeds are good.

I wouldn't pay to read a single series on there, and unfortunately there's no good way to collect vertical scrolling art like that in physical form.

Webtoon is such a predatory platform, which on top of being quite annoying to use for readers, it also has un-consistent rules for authors as well.
The use of "coins" to obfuscate price, the fact that you can buy only chapter-per-chapter (No volumes/bundles/collections), and now Daily pass removal

Yeah, they tend to have predatory pricing practices, are often user hostile, and are often -creator- hostile. Also, have been on an absolute tear recently taking down pirate sites, having made a coalition of KR & JP publishers to throw extra weight behind it. Many translator sites have been purged.

It’s a good thing I pretty much exclusively read stuf from the canvas, 90% of the originals that they’re constantly pushing with annoying ads and hiding the good shit look like complete garbage
