Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
In the same way that a year ago I watched YouTube with ads. I’m not watching with ads if it’s even close to the same amount of ad as video
I literally subbed to a podcast using the RSS, and they feed ads through like most podcasts do these days. It started with two ads, ok fine that's not too bad. It plays the podcast for 8:50ish, and then drops, not "another," but four ads. It very well may have been more than four too, but during the fourth (sixth total) I stopped the podcast and unsubbed. Not only were there all those ads, but part of the actual eight whole minutes the hosts talked was them plugging their patreon.
None of this was hyperbole, and I remember it well as it happened yesterday.
There's a few youtubers I've either stopped watching, or very rarely watch, because of the amount of plugging they do. I get that they have bills to pay, but some of them are ridiculous.
