I’ve using this app for about 8 years now and it’s been one of the best places to read webcomics, both paid premium and free ones. I can’t imagine this shutting down so suddenly. It feels like an insult to both creators and readers after years of Tapas being one of the largest English-language webcomic apps out there. With Tapas gone, so many novels, comics and legal English language translations will just disappear. I’ve using tapas weekly, if not daily, all these years. Yet now I have no idea what will happen to all the comics and novels I’ve bought. Does my ownership simply evaporate now? Will the whole library that is Tapas cease to be accesible? What about all the new comics and novels that keep getting published? This feels like another show of how digital ownership means nothing, and how clarity is not required when conducting such a huge digital decision that will affect the livelihoods of who knows how many creators. I love Tapas. I love the stories I’ve read. I love its warm community of readers and creators. I love discovering new varied stories at every turn, to read both comics and novels in a single app. So I do beg the higher ups to not shut it down. Sincerely, one of innumerable users.
