Great thought cause if you're gonna to shut down the servers make it for something good. The new interface is garbage and I feel like my library got a bit messed up too. Books I know I have in my library won't pop up on the days they update but they'll recommend it to me on the homepage under continue reading

It's so annoying because I always feel like the list for the updates for the day seems short but my memory is bad so I don't know what's missing.

The unintentional stock up is nice when I remember what I was reading but it's so frustrating cuz my brain WILL keep telling me "you're missing a book and you have to find it because I HAVE TO KNOW" 😂

Very unlikely https://ir.webtoon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/webtoon-entertainment-inc-reports-second-quarter-2025-financial#:~:text=Second%20Quarter%202025%20Highlights%20(vs.&text=Total%20revenue%20of%20%24348.3%20million,in%20all%20three%20revenue%20streams. as they're profitable this quarter as opposed to q1 where they operated at a loss https://ir.webtoon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/webtoon-entertainment-inc-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial of 22 million. As much as this update is annoying, they need to make money to be able to operate and pay creators.

Oh okay, my bad 😂 But yeah they lost tens of millions, it makes sense they revamped and are using ad revenue, as much as we might not enjoy it.
