I really have no idea if Tapas ad rates are terrible or if it's just because I have much more readers on webtoons but on Tapas, the amount I made IN TOTAL since the very start of the program a few years ago is the same amount I make per month on Webtoon ads.
This is something super old and I get that Tapas had moved on to a different direction but, back in the day Tapas had it's own build in support system, similar to Patreon where people pledge a certain amount each month and build up to rewards they could get, and I remember that being such a unique idea for a comic platform and a great way to monetize comics. Then they switched to coins/ink with ads, which barely makes anything... idk i feel like the previous support system could have been developed or something bc it was only unique to Tapas and not any other webcomic platform.
