Damn, they got smackjeeves first then tapas…
>>155571398
>>155571398Wait, is Tapas the same as Webtoons or just a branch of it?
>>155571398good ridance.
>>155571398Ah fuck. There's good comics on tapas. I hope people actually archive them.>>155571588>Wait, is Tapas the same as Webtoons or just a branch of it?It's a competitor.webtoon is just being used as a generified term for vertically oriented webcomic. like how the terms bandaid or cleenex
Hmm it seems they might be merging some of their platforms with another platform? Im not sure what will happen to existing comics though, and it might only affect the asian version of hteir site.https://www.comicsbeat.com/report-kakao-is-shutting-down-tapas-webtoon-platform/https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/63436/kakao-pulls-plug-tapas-webtoon-platform
>>155571398to be clear smackjeeves was bought by a different company:https://web.archive.org/web/20201228145820/https://www.smackjeeves.com/notice/36
>>155571398it's for the best, tapas got absolutely raped after they turned it into webtoon 2.0
>>155571398Koreans ruin everything, now i get why japs hate them so much
>>155571398Kaka is killing off TapasOh no. Hopefully MeowMeow picks up the slack.
>>155573740>I hope people actually archive them.I think this is a time for /co/ as a collective to do some good.
>>155571398there was a previous thread:>>155570591
>>155571398the fuck you mean shutting down there's a fuckload of tapas originals
>North american webtoon company
>>155571398finally, webtoons has no competitors and has a monopoly over the faux anime comics all these woman read
>>155571398Meh. 90% of the artists on Tapas just ghost their projects after a couple dozen updates.
>>155573740In my days, "webtoon" was just another word for "internet animation."
>>155574579a bunch of those in your image are aimed at men
Are we talking about a webcomic paysite? if so, fuck them. Used to be, a comic artist would put the strips up for free, and get a goddamn JOB to support themselves.
>>155574579I'm almost certain that Naver bots their numbers. I have literally, not once, ever met or seen a single person who actually reads these and talks about them. At most you might see some SEA on Reddit or xitter but that's it.
Reminder that /co/ makes actual webcomics.
>>155574579don't forget all the solo leveling ripoffs and the regression slop
>>155571398Who is tapas and was it any good?
>>155576844A comic hosting website that was taken over by koreans who turned that site into webtoons 2 and now are killling the site after draining all its lifeforce. Like i said before, fuck koreans and fuck manhwa
>>155577178Did they host anything good?
>>155577178i thought tapas was made by koreans?
>>155577667yeah some of it is translated to english and some of it is english original stuff.
>>155575449>I'm almost certain that Naver bots their numbers. I have literally, not once, ever met or seen a single person who actually reads these and talks about them. At most you might see some SEA on Reddit or xitter but that's it.it's probably a different reader demographic than you.
the news isn't mentioned here on their site:https://tapas.io/newsfeedand when you open the front page there's no mention of this.not very good communication from them.
>>155574155It's gonna be a fucking pain to try to save the stuff behind a login wall.
>>155571398The only webtoon I read on this was pic related. It’s all romance drama so I’m shocked it didn’t die sooner
>>155579865webtoons.com is also full of that genre, and its not dead
>>155574639That's Webcomics in general.
>>155577667I liked Ba Doom.
looks like you can't steal everything from japan
>>155575449>At most you might see some SEA on Reddit or xitter but that's it.That's because those SEAs ARE the majority of the audience.Most of the people reading webtoons are third worlders.
>>155571398I hope webtoons die the ignoble death they deserve. So annoying to read, so much wasted fucking space.
>>155580633That’s because webtoons has a VARIETY tapas is severely lacking in
Well shit, time to find an alternative site for picrel, with any luck they'll be talking about this on /hyw/ already. Predatheosis and Oi! too, though those have been on hiatus a long while....I should archive Magda and the Spiral too.Kinda glad most comics that were previously tapas only have migrated elsewhere over the years.
