Have you always needed an account for webtoons? One less usable site :(

[–] Nivekk 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Just tested it to see if I'm crazy :) you need one to subscribe, but technically you can read comics there without a login

Nope doesnt work, at least not on mobile, even with desktop mode enabled. If you just logged out to test it, then the site might still have remembered your browser and allowed you to view it because of that.

Edit:

Just tested on an actual desktop pc and that worked hmmm

Hrmmmm... I guess they force it on mobile. Well, I've updated the description with the link to the Tapas version in case that helps? We're also on the Inkverse

I read on my phone using Tachij2k

Man, what a shame about the purge before. But then again, many heads take its place (via many repo) so I guess it's a win.

Works on my phone

I just tested on mobile too and it seems fine. Chrome Android. Maybe it's something they're rolling out.

If your comic is rated mature, or if the user is using a known VPN IP address, Webtoons will require a login.

There's a subscribe button but i can read it just fine without?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We figured out its a mobile issue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'm on mobile. 3rd-party frames blocked, maybe because of this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

If you use it Mihon (tachiyomi) has a webtoons extension.

Pretty sure you always have, yes. But why does that make it unusable?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Account walled sites are inherently bad because they are counter to the concept of a searchable and open internet. Also makes them very inaccessible to disabled people and kids.

Also, having a bunch of unnecessary accounts greatly increases the chances of a data breach leading to identity theft for people who recycle passwords, which is a lot of people. I only sort of trust my bank and google to have proper security to avoid data breaches. I definitely dont trust every random content site.

Ah, gotcha. Didn't think of that.
