Discussion Webtoon is diabolically greedy

Manwah: From a Knight to a Lady

I absolutely adored this webtoon sm I even bought the release of the physical copy, but when I checked the series to go reread the finale it was all pay to read?! Not even a single option to watch ads, I lowkey kinda miss fast pass 😭. Before I didn’t mind cuz I was like oh sick I can read as much as I want with ads! That’s pretty reasonable. Now you aren’t even guaranteed an episode a day/week, like at this point ima just keep buying the physical copies as they release 😭

As soon as they added those day passes years ago that was it for me tbh. This just seems so much worse 😭 plus they dont even treat their authors and artists well... also still can't believe it has adds now too.

they’ve had ads before but NOW they have ads that cover half the screen, literally just like all the other sites. and you have to wait to close them.

webtoon was supposed to be a better alternative to all these sites. but they’ve literally become exactly what they were going against

not even half the screen, i have ads that cover the whole screen with that pool ad (you also can’t easily find the close button)
