This is exactly the problem I have with WP. All they care about are numbers. Tapas doesn't even require you to have say a thousand subscribers before enabling ad revenue.
Plus, somehow the Paid Stories on WP never glitch, but the tag rankings almost always break down making it impossible to get discovered.
I still feel like even now Tapas is still relatively new and there's a chance for everyone to get discovered.
I'm thinking about having my novella commissioned into a comic once I can afford it. So not only will it be text form, but people will have a visual aid as well.
I've seen it work for The Dragon Prince - the author is also on WP and very nice to people, so I'm hoping I'll be able to the same after I rewrite my novella - A Rider's Fate.
I have a few more stories planned but the cover formatting can be a pain on here. That's about my only complaint compared to the dozen or so I have against WP lol.
