Sadly most of the stuff that was dropped was the only webtoon i was reading. On a marketing term i find Kakaopage actions quite stupid and harmful.
They might propose an exclusive service, but it's not like they're proposing an alternative to those who can't read korean (yet).
This kind of behavior is only harmful toward future customers that may or may not purchase such services if they were one day made available.
Besides, it decreases awareness toward those webtoons and authors, and substantial future income.
I found the example of what was done with wuxiaworld and novel the good example of what should be done by those companies.
After all, even if you want to make money, your customers are readers..if you stop people from reaching your product, you just cut yourself from profit.
