You are so right. Many of the top webtoon a while back when it was fair all fell so far, and it's not even about their webtoon itself, it's about LINE doing this intentionally to them. Even now looking at top comics's "LIKES' or number of comments seem suspiscious, even the views. Now since the new pledge requirement, some of my friends notice their views dropping a lot. LINE's way is crooked and wicked, I mean I'm pretty sure they cut down the number of views for the comics they don't like just as they push them further down in ranking, the saddest is that no one can do a thing to fight this.
I used to like LINE when it was "challenge League", every author was competing fairly. Now it's all fake, LINE controls everything and place whoever they want on top. There isn't a challenge, just that to succeed you gotta conform to their liking and it doesn't even guarantee. Although no author will do that, but it's just sad what LINE became.
