My main platform shifted to Webtoons when Tapas started doing a lot of changes that affected the visibility of non-premium comics. I really don't mind that they're advertised more but my friend who started reading more webcomics recently had no idea Tapas has free/indie comics.
While people are saying there are improvements to this I feel like the really long time that the indie comics where kinda hidden on the app really affected their visibility.
I know people don't like Webtoons here and i have my issues with it too but the fact is that Webtoons regularly features comics from Canvas section on their front page banner (and on other places on the front page), holds Canvas events like the end of year awards and canvas week for example, really encourages readers to check out the Canvas section and it's unfortunately a lot more than Tapas has been doing the past few years.
Tapas is the reason I started creating comics again and idk it's just disappointing the past few years, I'm not sure what will happen in the future but Tapas changed years ago.
