    I am the actual author. I post my work in many places. All of them are free to read.

    Webtoons is where I have the most subscribers and is the most popular platform, so I tend to direct people there. I also get a (tiny) share of the revenue from the ads they place below my comics, which is a nice little bonus. But I’m happy for people to read wherever - I just like to share my work.

      Oh, cool! It’s a great comic! I’ve always found it suspicious that Webtoons links are paywalled while authors have free access on their own sites, but I guess that makes sense if it works for the artists.

          Any time I go to Webtoons on my phone I see this. I guess maybe it’s technically free? I don’t really trust any app that tries to force itself on me though. Usually they want something, whether that be pushing ads or selling data.

            Ah, that is annoying! You can still view in the browser, but the pop-up is definitely bothersome. And of course you can just go to crookedgoat.ca as you indicated, and be free of ads, trackers, and any other corporate nonsense.
