  • 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.




  • No, EVs in general aren’t a bad idea. But, to my knowledge, they have a lot of problems that no one is even getting close to solving on a global basis. There’s recycling of and mining for components, preferably in a sustainable way and without child workers. Also, EVs are still expensive as fuck compared to ICE vehicles, especially on the used market. And if you’re buying used, then the battery doesn’t even have full capacity anymore. And even IF you can get it switched by a mechanic (if you can even find one willing to do that), that is just even more money you have to spend upfront.

    Granted, most of that might change over time, but for most people atm it’s just not feasible to buy an EV.







  • It’s alright, but I couldn’t get through it. It just was #notmyAC lol. Travel between quests took too long and the desert is not that interesting to me personally. Parcour was shallow and I hated the combat and progression systems.

    I loved almost all of the old school style AC games, but they started to drop off after the Ezio trilogy. 3, Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate were fine, but they just didn’t quite have the same charm or were lacking in other areas. Still had a fun time with Black Flag and Syndicate.
