Sooo this topic just gave me the urge to make a 'writer's personality test' 
The line in the middle is (your perception of) the average in creators' spaces:

I've added a few axes that depict stuff I've observed about the culture of creator spaces (not necessarily negative) (I've also ch…
I notice that writing communities online are often just like... idk way more feely than other groups of people. I don't know if it's because of the nature of the work, but writers online have all these rituals and obsessions with comforts and stuff. Artists I used to know would just draw their shit …
DAMN IT. I can't enter without agreeing. I guess the least I can do is NOT agree. It seems like my comic will be safe if I don't agree with the new terms and agreement.... because it keeps kicking me out.
Some old school creators I know of only use webtoon and tapas to promote their comic (samples of a page) and link to their own Web page or store to buy physical copies. Looking at this..now I know the reason behind it.
My OCD is spiking just from seeing 86 notifications that I can't clear.
Hey all! I'm sending a big fat email to Tapas today with my thoughts and opinions on the new inbox. Was hoping to have anyone's consent on screenshotting your thoughts too (and censoring your usernames) so that I may make a master email about this for the Tapas team to see. I wanted to do it th…
I go on holiday and think of checking Tapas and see this idiotic change. Well I cleared by using the mark as read method. Today got a bunch more. So we're expected to do this on a day by day basis? One more nail. It's not like I get any more dedicated readers anyway. May as well just build my own we…
I also just generally dislike the whole deleted all the content part of this. Like even from a pro-discord stance, why would you delete all those answered threads where people can go for answers if they have a similar problem, rather than having to ask again? Why not just lock it and leave it as an …
Saying "We're not getting rid of the forums" at the same time that they just got rid of one of the forums isn't, as I see it, terribly credible. Esp when they not only discontinued the tech support forum as a tool but locked the door & deleted all the old content. Everyone else in the world is striv…
What's going on with the Inbox thing with the GIFTS and MESSAGES tabs and the ACTIVITY relegated to 3td spot. This is super inconvenient. WTF??? [image]
I never liked that promos and site updates were on the same tab as the series messages. I seem to no longer get messages for likes or follows. It is really annoying.
Oh boy, I love having my inbox cluttered up by a bunch of bullshit. A great way for me to never read any of these webcomics. Who thinks changes like these are going to be perceived well?
I do acknowledge that this may be a personal thing, but like there's times when I'm like "oh I'm not making enough" or "This week's update is really short" when in reality when you're working on your own with no pay, having the length and consistent upload schedule that is so prominent with webtoons…
Wait it's doubly bad. I just realised that it's not only the initial 5 billion message notifications we got the problem, it's ongoing. Every time we get a little red "1" notification now we aren't going to know if it's an actual person or spam and have that same emotionnal rollercoaster. Every. …
Yeah, I'll admit the 75 notification was a little suspicious to me. Combined with the change in icon, I thought it was a glitch, so I wasn't let down too much when I saw that it was all premium series. Logging in to see the much more reasonable "1" and finding out it's another premium series stung a…
When I first saw this change I was slightly annoyed but now I'm becoming more and more upset. I realize now that every time I login I'm going to see red numbers, and it will almost always be ads and not any actual engagement with my comic. I get so few comments and likes and this crap is going to bu…
Holy shit I have to read 75 comics in my inbox!? Better put on some coffee.
I was going to make a post too! But then I was like, maybe I'm being over dramatic. It's so annoying, and the complete opposite of what I would want on Tapas proper. I wish there was a way to switch from a creator page and reader page so we can decide what kind of notifications we get. I can't belie…
There are some aspects of it I actually like, but I feel like the UX design isn't well considered. In concept, I like that it now separates out messages into tabs. I like that now promo messages aren't in my main messages and I like that I can now use tabs to sort between different types of reader…
Just made a tweet about it and I genuinely think this was the worst design choice ever. Like, who even thought this was a good idea to begin with? Now we'll all get spammed with stuff we don't care about... Like, when I saw I had 78 notifications I was like "Woah, did someone start reading my comi…
Also came to the forum to check about this bizarre change. They should at least offer an option to get back the old bell-shaped notification icon that had a drop-down. And while we're talking about this, there was also that recent change that got rid of the old icon for seeing updates to comics, w…
Yeah, this is how it's been on mobile for a while. Not happy about them bringing it over to desktop, lol.
I GOT SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW THE 77 AND THEN IT TURNED OUT TO BE COMICS I'M NEVER GOING TO READ. Thanks for reminding me of the numbers I'm probably never going to reach at this point, Tapas.
Yep. I also hate the new Tapas idea. ...so anyone in GlobalComix? This is an excelent moment to try a sell speech =D I know I will be there for my next project, but it seems that the webcomics industry is trying hard to make me leave their star sites anyway.
Everyone sing the spam song from Monty Python! Yayyyyyy!
Waking up to 79 plus notifications made me really happy until I saw it was mostly spam 
I have a conspiracy. Maybe they did this with intent to get us to be annoyed so they can bog down the obscure comics and raise up the ones that’ll most definitely get readership.
If I don't find them and fix them on the go, then I'll probably see the elements once the entire thing is finished. I either draw or write and once I finished the entire thing, have the product in it's final shape, I can properly analyze it. But I don't fix nor rewrite it, I rather move onto the nex…
