There also aren't a lot of good areas to advertise indie comics. The creators I've seen for them gotta try their ass off with advertising on ten different sites. There's also the sad fact that people's yearning for exploration of new content is very fucking low unless the algorithm shows them it. Word of mouth used to be a common thing to spread an indie/webcomic but getting people to chat about it is like pulling teeth unless you've got high follow contacts to back you up.
Most social media are a crap shoot unless you're making meme edits of your stuff. Instagram/Tiktok is a no-go unless you've got or know someone with editing skills to voice or animate your panels.
You ever looked through subreddits marked comics? They're usually just creators advertising their books which is one of the worse environments to gain readers, other creators typically aren't gonna be your audience. A casual place to find regular readers is hard as all fuck for comics currently cause you've got three camps:
-Big Two only readers where nothing else exists in comics to them
-Culture War fags who are only interested if you're controversial in some way or form
-Standard comics readers who try anything which is becoming a harder breed to reach
