If were being completely optimistic then yeah this would mean more opportunities for more creators. But as far as I can tell at least at this point in my opinion it would be the same types of stories that are getting promoted now, getting promoted.
Even if there's a new staff pick style thing the method to choosing what and who to promote is probably still same and it leaves a lot to be desired.
Anyway. I have a couple questions.
@ratique
• From what you can say and are aware of what types of changes/improvements will be made to the support system?
An example of what I mean is accessibility to ink. Methods to encourage support.
• Will there be improvements/new methods of monetization?
I personally think the Ad revenue set up could use a touch up.
• Are there any plans to improve site wide engagements?
• Will there be larger focus on searching for content and creators to make the move to premium?
I ask this because I've been checking out Webtoons lately and noticed that comparativewise while I acknowledge that Webtoons is a larger site/has a larger budget, the number of canvas to originals is much larger than non premium to premium.
By this I mean series that move over to Originals.
It feels like the premium upgrade is now a rarity.
• This one is probably off topic but is the idea behind Tapastry to separate Tapas Originals and Premium from the regular self published stuff. Similar to Webtoon canvas and Webtoon originals?
I feel like I may have read the answer somewhere but I forgot.
