Drop in new subs?

[Tanako]

Yep, i most defiantly have and i don't even check. it took a shit ton of weeks to reach 4k and even with that, it dragged a while before i got there. now reaching 5k seems like its gonna be a year work and honestly at this point. i'm good. i will focus on the readers i already have. not to mention the new website dosen't help much *sigh...

Honestly? As much as I would try and find any reason to complain about this update, I have not noticed in any unusual changes so far. View counts are only low because I didn't do an update this week but it's not anything shocking compared to the rare times I had to skip in the past. I did get my normal amount of subs so far too. So all is fairly normal for me.

Golly! If you rely on your Patreon for a living, that must be terrifying!

Glad to hear it's recovering!

My Patreon also took a hit but not as much as I diversified to other websites. Still, it was noticeable.

I honestly haven’t noticed anything, my veiws likes and subs are roughly the same as they have been for the past two months, but I’m a small comic creator so No idea if that is gonna matter to the new algorithm.

We should remember it is March and from my memory this is the time period where people are dealing with spring break and having their kids home Or scheduling trips. There’s always gonna be slower months then others. We’re also having elections in the US and people are freaking out about the virus so a lot of viewership eyes are on news sights and watching numbers right now. I’d wait to see how this Month compares to April.

Well, considering the fact that they decided to hide the subscribe button, I'm surprised anyone is subscribing at all!

I dunno if it cheers anyone else up, but I like to imagine that the comics affected by the site redesign (mine included) have been tossed into the abyss from hollow knight to fight their own spooky siblings.

It makes things a lot cuter and helps me sleep at night

If I dream nail a comic, do I gain its subscribers??

[IndigoShirtProd]

I didn't get that many subs anyway, but I feel like there has been a drop in views. But I just started a hiatus this week, so maybe that has to do with it. I don't know, things have just felt really slow this month.

[Tanako]

Its terrible. it's like a math equation to find that S***. i don't understand how they designed this and thought it was a good idea. i mean, i like the concept but they changed so many essential things that didn't need to be tampered with. if i didn't know any better i'd say they are trying to weed out some people. i could be wrong.

[zccoffee]

Same. Drop in new subs, views etc.
I don't know when(or if) they are going to fix it, so far I just post new pages on webtoon... Because if both of sites censor our comic, I'd prefer something that have more audience.
Sorry for my bad English.

Offtop, but love this game! XDD

[LordVincent]

If I am allowed to theorize, I believe it's more an attempt to create an algorithm that gives visibility to more people while maintaining a high turn ratio of viewers-to-subscribers. The tapas peeps have good intentions and are passionate about creative freedom and diversity last time I checked, the only thing I can imagine them wanting to weed out is hateful and/or illegal content.

Somewhere along the line, this attempt failed

If I dream nail a comic, do I gain its subscribers??

Yes! But only if your comic destroys the dreamers.

[spadedigsbutts]

I really don’t have that many but if anything I think mine have actually gone up?

So it's you who has been stealing my subs!
Get him, boys!

[Tanako]

There is a girl who just made a post on gaining "50", new views and shes on hiatus. maybe the algorithm favors her. lol

[carloswebcomic]

Wow, this is getting weird!

EGADS THEY’RE ON TO ME!! You’ll never catch me coppers!!

This is a screen shot of my view stats from the day before the change and after the update. Also, my comic didn't appear in the 'fresh' category on Monday when it updated. Will have to see if it appears tomorrow morning.

Subs have remained sort of normal as I normally get 1-2 per update.
