When in Korea, do as the Koreans do.

Hm... maybe yes, maybe no.

Yes if I got treated as how Koreans served. No if they left my favorite manhwa's next season not translated into my local language, enough for making a wide gaps with the raw. Also no (this one is the Webtoon ID case) if they start just spamming shoujo rofan (romance fantasy) and start forgetting to treat their male (shounen based) reader. I mean, why do I had to care them enough when they not caring about me as their consumer?

But in general, yes, I agree with you.

if they start just spamming shoujo rofan

I would be happy!
shoujo is totally japanese but well...

Lol, sorry my bad. I mean, shoujo here is the audience segmentation, which mean, Webtoon ID spamming the manhwa one, not the manga lol. As their reader from 7-8 years ago, it's kinda annoying since they just spamming their shoujo rofan manhwa, ignoring shounen based manhwa or local comics, and pretending not knowing that their consumers was bombing them with suggestions, critics, or any else in social medias. Recently, they also start add 3rd party advertisement. Dunno why but then a lot of people asking, "The, what's the difference of my experience in those illegal sites compared to that called 'legal platform' if I keep haunted by those ads too?"

I would be happy!

Happy for you too!
