eventually the site would be bought by a korean corporation, get a horrible redesign as a webtoon/tapas clone, and get shut down shortly after just to promote their other webcomic hosting site. a good number of these are mostly lost to time due to this, which loving sucks.
nowadays these comics still exist, but you can rarely find them and they are not as active as they once were. it sucks because i've been thinking about making my own recently just for funsies, but as an adult i fear i have better things to do right now.
if you're still up for that kind of content, the successor to smackjeeves is comicfury from what i know.
you can still find weird comics made by one guy in a afternoon on there.
I don't understand how people use twitter regularly and maintain an account, every time I've tried to do it I CBA after a week tops. I'll look at it rarely to see a funny argument someone sent to me and that's about it, but this is coming from someone who can't even be arsed to regularly post to Facebook/Instagram. I don't know how people regularly maintain a presence on multiple platforms.
they're addicts, that's what all these big social media platforms today aim for.
they want you to get addicted to that feeling of seeing your latest stuffpost getting attention and likes so you'll stay on their site for longer, share more info about yourself, and click the tailored advertisements.
