You already know the answer to that one lol
Probably Akira Toriyama's art style. RIP, you fucking legend
After googling and reading some articles, that doesn't seem to be true. According to Webtoon, they make contracts with creators, which seems to be between 48.000 and 50.000 dollars a year on average. For example, the contract would state that the creator is to deliver 50 episodes per year, with a 1000 bucks per episode. If the series incurs any losses and makes, for example, only 45.000 in revenue, then the creator still gets paid the full 50.000. That's including fast pass. So, in this example, Webtoon would make no money on the series in that year.
Again, 50k is only an example, it depends on the contract. The numbers in other articles are all over the place, I've seen reports of as low as 38k.
This doesn't include "international (non-local) paid content revenue, advertising revenue, or merchandising revenue." Which means that creators can make more than their contract states, even if the episodes themselves don't meet the contractual revenue.
Webtoon also has an ad revenue sharing program for creators that hit a view minimum requirements. Through this program, creators get 50% of all ads displayed on their series.
Please keep in mind that this information may not be 100% accurate, but it is the most reliable info I could find in a few minutes, since it's mostly from Webtoon's own homepage and a few third party sites.
In any way, it's better than not getting paid for your work at all.
Could just commission someone on Fiverr for an original artwork
Holy fuck, how fast was he playing that he needed lube? Lmao
Oh, please don't misunderstand: I personally don't really care about leaving Youtube myself, but it's good to have alternatives/competition. And as I said, there's no direct competition to Youtube, which does everything they do. Low barrier to entry, a huge amount of money behind it, a self contained eco system with decent tools, barely any political affiliation (afaik), etc.
So, I was more talking about why the majority of people won't leave for other platforms.
Pretty much everything Youtube does is driven by making the platform profitable. Which, ironically, makes me trust them more with certain things. Not a huge fan of their parent company tho.
You're welcome lol. I first heard about it here on Lemmy too
God, I hope so. Imagine all of Beethoven's finger gunk sticking to those keys.
I thought it was about that. I listened to the episode of "If Books Could Kill" on it. And holy shit, JD's full of shit lol
But what about muh brainrot?
