Feel free to screenshot my comment (or this one) requesting their promotions be on a separate tab from the activity and messages. They want to promote? Okay, fine, they're going promote their comics. But make their promotion messages separate from legitimate fan/reader messages. It just confuses and enrages people cause they're wasting time on stuff that, were they interested, they'd click from the front page.
Also, I request they fix their "read all button." It takes several clicks in my experience to work (seen others in private discords complaining about this.
Last thing, I don't know if it's just me, but when I get to my own activity, and I've noticed that clicking "mark read" along side one highlighted message is clearing every single one. I plan on screen recording this myself and sending it on, too. I thought it was maybe a glitch, but it's happened two days in a row now, and I keep track of which messages/activities I've viewed that way.
@Calculus_Homework Thank you, also for reaching out. I've messaged them about a couple things, and get tired of having a spotlight put on me as kind of a complainer XD I appreciate you doing this!
Yes, I noticed that Mark all read only works after you press the button a few times (no particular number) in both Messages and Activity and then also reload the page, so it's very much a bug (I'm using Firefox).
Honestly, as a creator it's terrible to get a notification thinking someone left a like or comment, just to find out there's a free premium comic episode is being given out.
I already opened a ticket, but reaching out with more people's messages sounds great, @Calculus_Homework, feel free to screenshot anything from me.
Another 5 popped up today. Great fun. I just bookmarked my subs/notification "activity" tab and just access this broken ass website that way.
I'll just let them spam the bag for eternity I guess.
They wont get read. Ill read what I want to thanks.
Please quote me, I want them to know the bile I have over t his change and have always had over these stupid changes that have been made over time to promote their relentless stream of premium garbage no one reads. We finally escaped having notifications about these things in our inboxes for like a year, and now they've gone and made an even worse system out of it. Have received 3 updates today, on a comic page update day, that were not about my comic. Demoralizing. Garbage.
I don't mind my comments being quoted. At the very least, I hope they'll consider separating the premium comic notifications from the activity stuff. As other people said, it's really disheartening as a creator to get those notifications thinking they're about your series only to find out that they're for premium stuff. The drop-down list for activity was really convenient too. I hope that comes back.
Being able to mute the premium comic notifs (or having them gone completely) would be a dream come true, but that may be wishful thinking. At the very least, could they include more community series?
I'm also not really understanding the difference between the Gifts and Messages section, or why they're called that. Calling promotions "Messages" is just confusing.
I tried blocking the accounts of the spam comics in my inbox marking them as spam accounts (because that's what they are), hoping that it would make the comics go away from my inbox, but unfortunately, they're still there ._. I will still block them because I don't care who you are or on what platform you are, if you spam me I block you.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of cliche comics get promoted. I'm not saying they're bad, but for me they're stuff I'd never read. Like never. And I've found a lot of great comics/novels on the forums, and most of them don't even have more than ten subscribers! In some cases, less.
I don't know. Forums are helpful, but I also want genuine readers. Readers that don't just subscribe because I've asked them to but also because they like my story. To be honest, I myself haven't read all of the Novels I'm subbed to, but I plan to do so in the future (plus, I do read a few episodes before subscribing).
Basically, what I'm saying is that Tapas should start promoting good comics/novels that don't have a lot of subs. What's the point of promoting something that is already so popular?
Also, has anyone ever noticed how most of the only popular comics have anime covers?
What on earth is going on... Just logged on Tapas and saw 79 notifs for those free eps when I had no interest at all in reading them.
What are they thinking??
The only way I found to reset it is to click the icon and "mark as read" the section. But every day they add new webtoons and novels there 
Unfortunately, "mark all read" doesn't seem to be working on Firefox 
been trying multiple times since yesterday, could get rid of a grand total of one (1) notification... out of 78 
marking everything as read from the phone app doesn't seem to do anything for desktop either, despite the account used being the same.
I also don't like how activity notifications have been pushed all the way down to the end and how the very first thing you see when you open the notification page is just... premium comics ads.
Just tested again. Clicked 22 times with no result. Then I tried to temporarily deactivate uBlock Origin and clicked on "mark all read" again. The notifications disappeared. Not sure if there's an issue with uBlock Origin or if it was just a coincidence, tho will have to try again with the next batch of notifications.
I'm also using it and it does clear up without deactivating it but it does take many, many attempts so you probably finally got to the right number of attempts (it's so frustrating how much it takes to get rid of this spams when single click clears up the activity tab)
btw, were spamming the button or waiting for the site to reload?
