Now I have been Reading some Tapas Comics, and I do not understand how they get Picked. How does Staff Picks work? right now there is a community section, how is that picked?I find it very puzzling.
Thank you if you can help me understand.
On a lot of factors, some are not known. But I'm sure, unique views, quality, length of eps, frequency of uploads, play a role in picking.
Community section is done somewhat randomly her min the forums. For about a 24 hour or less period, the mods create a thread asking for community picks given particular criteria.
Staff picks are based on what the staff like at the time. Beyond that we don't know.
There's this forum post from earlier this year that discusses this topic:
Although it's not explicitly stated I personally think there is also an unspoken view threshold that a work has to cross to be even noticed by the staff.
If i had to bet i would say "the comic has to look very Korean".
