It's so weird to me to be following all these professional level Indie or fancomics on DA or Webtoons. They're as good or better than any comics you see on the shelves, and I'm thinking of the Disney-styled animal ones. They ask for support via patreon or kofi or just buying a physical copy. It's all very reasonable. Their readers are devoted and supportive. Then I go over to the 'professional' side (you know, the comicsgate people) and it's all paywalls and Kickstarter. You can't see the comics before you buy, just sample pages. I've seen some people who backed comic kickstarters who were very unhappy with the product when it finally arrived. And the quality between both sides is about the same. Comicsgate and indie are produced with equal amounts of artistic skill, I would just say the writing is better among the indie comics I've seen. It's just this weird mentality shift between the two sides. Comicsgate constantly behave badly and there's a lot of infighting. But indie creators here or on Webtoons seem very supportive of each other. It's so weird to me.
