Where On the Internet do You Publish Your Comic Books

Where On the Internet do You Publish Your Comic Books?  The algorhythms on websites keep being changed, and the "community guidelines" (the rules) keep being changed.  These big Internet social media and publishing companies seem to be sold a lot - which changes everything.  Instagram is favoring videos to compete with Tick Tock, and now Twitter is panicing.  Tumblr seems to have imploded.  Google keeps discontinuing features.  The blogging platforms keep imposing new rules.  
 

If you look at the most popular comic books - superhero comics for instance - there are a lot of villians, violence, crime, and all sorts of conflict.  Algorhithms don't favor violent images or "hateful" language, even if it's coming out of a villan's mouth.  You can't reason with an algorithm, and you can't stop people with different ideas of what is acceptable from reporting anything they disagree with.

    I put my work Taiduo up on webtoons, which isn't the most favourable place but for the ongoing format in the scroll down version it works. would love to relaunch on a different site but not suere what would be better either

    You all could include a link to your "DAZ" comics...

    Yes, at least as long as they are non-commercial and SFW.

    1. You should read more comics than you make. (for a dozen different reasons)

    2.  Wherever YOU go to READ [your type of] comics is where you should publish your comics. 

    3.  Before you can direct traffic (meaning, have an audience that wants to follow YOUR WORK) you need to go to where the traffic is and build up an audience/followers/supporters///. (See #2)

    4. To have absolute control over a space, you need to...have absolute control over a space. Your Own Website. 

    No point doing that, until you accomplish 3.

    You can't do that, until you figure out 2.

    I like DeviantArt because it allows for seperate folders for different comics. They also allow HTML to be included so I can include forward and backward links. And prior to them moving to Eclipse, I was also able to maintain a table of contents. But can you please give me the 411 on Comicfury? Is there a cost or a limt to how much space you can use? Do they have similar features to DeviantArt where you can include fotward and backward links? You really have me curious.

    Does webtoons have 3d render comics, or is strictly for comics that look like drawn cartoons?

     Comicfury is geared towards comics and allows a fair amount of flexibility and is easy to use. tbh better for comics than deviantart. no costs or limits as far as I'm aware. It's been some years since I used it.

    I host on Drunkduck, have done for over a decade. I've tried others including comic fury and tapas but always stuck with DD. I have a few bits on deviantart too but thats a secondary thing.

     Have to agree,  they excel at comics dealing with teen angst, early twenties slice of life, relationships and romantic melodrama and confusion. Huge market for those genres there.

    You can never go wrong focusing on the human condition. It's universal,  and excellent for story telling.

    well my work is basically pure 3d and I've seen an handfull of others but it's rare. So they are not closing it off to 3d but they probably will never give a 3d comic a boost on the front pages or similar
