J#14 WT kill me, again.
🕑 Added 2024-09-04 22:30:28 +0000 UTCFor the second week in a row, Webtoon has refused to add ads to the episodes of BWL without explaining the reason, other than the standard reply that it's a violation of the platform's rules. Apparently, anything that isn't about mermaids in the sea can't be monetized anymore. I'm saying this because I've already seen complaints from other authors of LGBT, GL, and BL works. I'm in complete shock; this was my last source of income from my creative work. Although, who am I kidding? I could barely make $100 a month. But I was so damn happy to earn at least something.
Now I'm just devastated, and the only alternative Webtoon offers to people like me is the super-like. Over time, the super-like has only brought me $5-7. I understand that Webtoon just wants to protect itself from any potential problems and only allow those whose content falls under the "all age" category to earn income—that's why they introduced this new system. But unfortunately, BWL doesn't fit into that category, according to them, and unfortunately, there’s no room for other opinions. Their site, their rules. And I just don't know what to do next. Should I shut down BWL and try something else? What are the chances it will meet their standards, and even if it does, will it be interesting to read? I don't know, I just feel awful about all this.

Thank you for the support! It's always nice to hear that. I’m hoping everything will work out for the best.

I’ll keep hoping to find a solution with Webtoon. Thank you for your support! You can always choose a different monthly amount that doesn’t feel burdensome for you.

Yes, you might be right, but I want to believe in the best, and I’m holding out hope that it won’t come to that. Finding a good alternative to Webtoon is even harder than finding one for Patreon.
Jisoon
Yeah, not work for me;(

Either keep going forward with that or maybe shelf it on WT for now, and make a different series. I don't have the best answer but trying something different for the moment can't hurt, yeah the situation sucks and I hope you can overcome this setback. Play their game a little, diversify and expand your catalog? Sorry I'm probably not being helpful.

I’m sorry you are going through this. I found you on WEBTOON and then came to Patreon and began to support you. I don’t mind supporting you on here and if you decide to charge a little more per month I would continue supporting too.

Can you just have your content on Patreon? I ask because it seems Webtoons is not providing any decent $$. If you do move to another platform, I would move over to support you. In my case, I found you on Webtoons first and then came here - and since you’re not getting an explanation, maybe this is the only way to continue with WT.
