And they were doing so good, recommending a lot of less known titles... I think they fired the intern who dare to give spotlight to not favorite titles and got back to the usual trend

yeah, and I bet they chose their top few favorite comics on discover that they like and only program those to appear in everyone's recommendation, they might throw 1 or 2 random to cover up as usual. You'll never see any other titles, always the same ones, it's been so for over a year. honestly, I don;t go to the discover section much anymore because they always put their same elite comics everywhere and I was tired of them pushing these down my throat. I thought that at least i have my personal front page with only the comics i subscribe to, less stress ya know. But hey, not anymore, webtoon's even gonna invade and control everyone's personal front page now and personally recommend to each of us! Their ways are shitty.

Yeah, this is really invasive and just another way to puah their agenda. No, thanks. My app dont have this version and I prefer it like this.

We were recently featured on the homepage, they only kept us up there for 2 days :angry:
Nonetheless i was happy because we were able to get nearly 2k new subscribers and 21k views in that short amount of time.

After saying a few comments back that I was worried about ever being featured LW featured me on Discover at the bottom and it's been really good! I've got a lot of positive comments and ratings and it's given me a nice boost.

I think Tapas has the same problem that the comics in the premium section are always in popular, and if you're not a new comic the only way you'll be on the front page is through trending. I totally understand why they need to promote premium comics but the best way for us to get reliable weekly readers is to have our comics promoted on site. When I launched I got a ton of views through social media but barely anyone had an account so I got very few subs which means I need to remind people I'm still posting. I know with webcomics you're in it for the long haul, but anything to increase my visibility!

Congrats @darthkrievos and @craftymarten for the feat.! At least webtoons seems to be more rotative, so many are getting a chance to increase their stats! About tapas... at least the algorithm somehow favors old comics, with more than 50, 100 episodes! I notice they get more time on front page and I, when I reached 3k subs, started to be there on popular, too! It fades away really quickly, but helps a lot! T-T Webtoons in other hand, favors fresh, new titles (webtoons you pedo xD), what makes good stories which arent always being promoted end up getting buried after somethimg like 30 episodes...

Congrats @Samuraiflame for being on the new Recommended roundup. My comic 'You and Me' lasted for 2 and a half weeks. Its nice while it lasted! :slight_smile: Hope it would be the same for you too.

omfg..... thank y o u
hahaha even if it's a day I'd be glad but whAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So is bitching about who they feature the only way to get noticed?

Webtoons please notice me, I'd like to be promoted too please. I'll bitch if you need me to XD

Also congrats on the feature ^_^

Yeah I was pretty sure yours was there. But now that you mention it, its gone... Weird if you ask me.

well I'm glad to see some of you got on recommended or on other sections, you guys really deserve to appear on there.

Sorry, I know this is an old thread but just to update- I've been watching the recommended titles section since the webtoons contest 2018 began. Here's what I've seen: During the contest's first round they would feature comics randomly for about three days. After that round was over it took them about a month to change the recommended titles again, however, since then they have changed the titles about every week. I say "about" because its not 7 days exactly. Sometimes they update it in 8 or 9 days. The titles and genres they pick out to recommend seem pretty scattered and random but I did notice they featured one comic twice in a row. My comic "Enjoy the Show!" is currently a recommended title, it'll be interesting to see exactly how many days they leave it up! LOL

Hello Jenna, for the past two months, the titles they pick out to recommend aren't actually random! :smiley:

When the first round of the Webtoon contest had ended, Webtoon posted "the real honorable mentions list" on LOZOLZ (webtoon made by their own staff): https://www.webtoons.com/en/tiptoon/lozolz/webtoon-contest-final-8-the-real-honorable-mentions/viewer?title_no=1268&episode_no=2912

And all of the titles on the recommended section from October till now have been from that list. I see that your comic is in it. Congratulations on being featured on recommended section! :smile:

p.s Same with you, I've also noticed that they change their titles after 8-10 days!

My comic Imaginarium11 made it to the "real honorable mentions" (I was super surprised because I only had a few hundred subscribers!) and was recently featured on recommended for about 10 days, so I think you're right that that must be what their current schedule is. :slight_smile:

I'd love to be recommended, but I only have five chapters so far... And my subs count are very low.
This is my webtoon WANDERGEIST17
Hey StorySeamstress, I read your comic, love it.
