... So... it would basically be a, "I want to support some small time comics creators" toggle. WELL, I guess it's not only that. It's also that... I don't always like the comics that the majority of readers like. Plus, I can often get more variety by avoiding the most popular stuff. Unfortunately the top comics are often... pretty thematically repetitive? (someone died and reincarnated as the wife of the evil king again, I guess) But mostly I've just liked supporting other small time creators. Maybe just cus' I got a lot of support for my hobby back when I was still pretty green myself.
... so uh, that was a little longer than I imagined. Hot take or not? Should we be able to flip a toggle and ignore the top engagement comics on a hosting platform?
My names Caleb, slightly better known by my pen name Softsful. I've been writing comics and webcomics for ages (the earliest record I have for a webcomic is 2004, but I do know I had earlier). My current webcomic is called Surprising Octeal and is actually a reboot. The reboot started in 2023 while the original was introduced on June 7th of 2018 (I now consider June 7th to be the M.C.'s birthday).

Surprising Octeal, a superhero comic about Suzanne Incirrina, a woman who was on track to become a marine biologist when she developed the power of octopus arms coming out of her back! Now, spurred on by a mystery surrounding super humans going mad, she'll be catapulted into the drama, danger, and politics of the super-human world.
OOO! This makes me think of something. Something I always love to point out to my fellow writers is the website TVTropes! It's a site that has exhaustive lists of literary tropes for shows, movies, videogames, and other media. Honestly, I would advise anyone who writes... well anything to use that site! Looking up comics or videogames that inspired my stories to see what types of literary devices are used in it is a big help. Plus, if your so inclined, your allowed to make a TVTropes page for your own story too! I have one for my webcomic. It's not necessarily the biggest advertising venue or anything but I like that I can look up the tropes I used in my comic as a well to understand my own writing!
