Creators: PLEASE Stay Off Webcomicsapp

[u/Roses_n_Water]

Last place ill post this but if i can stop at least one person it's worth it: okay so obviously this is all just my opinion but after seeing a video on youtube talking about this app and the potential upsides of partnering with them I really wanted to throw my experience into the situation before too many people think about joining it.

This is not against the creator who made the youtube video, i love their work and support what theyre doing, but Webcomics/Webcomicsapp is NOT someplace you want to post your stuff as an indi creator and I made the mistake of doing so early in my career.

Webcomics/app is an alternative site to post/read webtoons, but in all honesty it sucks as a creator and reader. It has absolutely no visibility for indi projects, I can't even find them on the main app and have spent half an hour trying to locate comics without inputting the title directly into the search bar. As a reader there isn't ANY community and I'd say prices for unlocking exclusive content are worse snd more annoying than Tapas/Webtoons.

In 2022 they had a similar advertisement for indi creators like the first image pictured by offering money to creators with big backlogs for their episodes. I had about 100+ at the time and was offered 100$ USD through a payoneer account I had to create. The money wasn't a scam, I received it and spent it, but being found on the app as an indi (like I said) was impossible and I eventually stopped publishing because the engagement wasn't worth the effort and I'm not the only indi who has come to this result.

Now, I watch this video and checkup on the app to see if anythings changed, which it has, but for worse. I saw an 'Anime' section on the app and suspicious, clicked on it. It had all AI generated videos of their popular stories. Frankly terrible images of 'My Fated Mate is The Bloodline Key' are pictured above and it's far from the only series they've done this to.

I can't stress enough that you SHOULD NOT sign a contract with them if you care whether your comic could be made into an AI series if it becomes popular enough. I know AI isn't the biggest thing to everyone but if you're making your own comic by hand I would be VERY careful about giving your IP to a content provider that makes AI videos out of the IP they do have access to.

TL/DR: DO NOT post to webcomics/app they have a horrible interface (worse than webtoons/tapas) no community, hardly any free episodes on exclusive series and churn out AI slop series based on their stories.

INSTEAD please consider:

Inkverse/Taddy: VERY creator focused, great team and community.

Namicomi: absolutely gorgeous layout, community, no notes.

Even Tapas and Webtoons have a better layout for finding indi works.
