Locking out low budget readers
Tapas used to be so generous to low budget readers, with lots of ways to earn free ink. But now, they’ve slowly started removing the options one by one. Bingeathons became harder and often needed ink; the ‘watch ads for ink’ function was removed and replaced with ‘unlock three extra chapters per day with ads’; prices for chapters went up; the watch ads options became even more limited as they shrunk the pool of unlockable chapters to old series and their first season only; and now they’ve made bingeathons so much rarer. We used to get three a month. Now we’ve only had two in the last three months. Tapas, if this continues then you’ll see a large portion of your readers emigrating to different sites. I switched from Webtoon to Tapas because their selection was more in line with my tastes, but now that Webtoon is starting to add more otome/villainess manhwas I find myself reading there more and more. If there’s one thing you bring back, *please* make the bingeathons more frequent again.

No more adds
Before 2.9.0, in some series you could watch an add to unlock an episode for up to 3 episodes (total) per day. They removed this feature and once again made the prices go up by an obscene amount.
Extremely disappointing!

scrolling
I don’t have any problems with the books or reading on tapas i just don’t really like the scrolling… maybe i’m just not used to it yet but it’s real funky right now, i can scroll down on an episode and a screen will pop up to buy the next one when i’ve literally just opened it. Also a lot of the time i accidentally scroll to the previous chapter and then when i go back i lose my place so i have to scroll all the way back to my spot again. It’s just really annoying and it happens a lot of the time. I liked the scrolling better previously on tapas.
