That dot is kinda cute...

wait
what?
Isn’t it still one of the premiere places to get webcomics from?

There isn't enough info on what will happen to the webcomics or even when will it close. For now I suggest everyone start backing up their favorite comics there now just Incase the worst (and most probable) outcome happens and they blanket delete everything.

>South Korea's Kakao Entertainment is shutting down Tapas, the North American webtoon platform it acquired in 2021 for approximately ₩1.1 trillion (approximately $809.6 million). Following last year's closure of the web novel platform Radish, the winding down of Tapas effectively marks a retreat from Kakao Entertainment's strategy of directly operating platforms in North America. Tapas had been a drag on earnings, with a ₩46 billion (approximately $33.9 million) goodwill impairment recognized in Q4 2023. The decision is part of a broader restructuring to consolidate Kakao Entertainment's webtoon and web novel platforms under KakaoPage by year-end. As parent company Kakao pursues a spin-off into Kakao AI and Kakao X, Kakao Entertainment is shifting its global strategy away from directly operating low-margin overseas platforms toward IP utilization, with Japan's Piccoma serving as the anchor for international growth.
Okay, so they killed Tapas so that they can later re-release it and it's web novel app under a single app?
