The art is something like the third or fourth most important thing in a webcomic, what matters is dropping new chapters when you said you would, having a story that's not complete garbage, and interacting with the five first guys who give a shit to turn that into ten and a hundred instead of coming across like an autist. If GoldenSmurf spent half the time he does beefing with reddit trannies updating and shilling his comic we could probably buy hardcover volumes of it in local bookstores by now.
Always remember the most culturally significant piece of work in the last two decades looks like this and try to understand why.

Back then it was much easier. You just had to be consistent. Post a new webcomic that is as popular. Talking about decades like that on the internet is meaningless, things changed SO fast globally

>and try to understand why
because 2000s were about young people rebelling against the developed styles of the 80s and 90s that they grew up on, something that doesn't apply to the current landscape
you might as well try to be limp bizkit in 2025, that's how out of touch you are

Don't give up if people critique you
Not everyone's comments are in your best interest
Develop a skin of steel
Post your comics somewhere where you have control over it, and not just a bunch of faggots can report you and you lose access to your audience forever.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? Homestuck was 2009 and only got big around 2010-2011ish, and its popularity has nothing at all to do with rebellion. It was just a really interest work that got extremely frequent and substantial updates cos the guy making it was an insomniac workaholic. It didn't have scheduled updates at all, updates would drop out of the blue multiple times a week and would range from a couple of pages to 10+ pages in one drop, which kept it hot and on everyone's mind. It helps a LOT that it was an experimental thing that combined a lot of other mediums, actually using the digital medium, and the fact it was a story about a bunch of relatable kids exploring a big new video-game-esque world with adventure and mystery. Frankly it was lightning in a bottle that possible can't be captured again, at least not in the same way.
>>7607831 (OP) OP my advice to you is look at what you can take from that. A simple style that you can make quickly. Sporadic but frequent and SUBSTANTIAL (as in it introduces or develops some element, keeping people interested, put plainly this is good writing at its core) updates can be done without needing to change anything in your story. The medium it used won't be turning any heads anymore (many imitators have come since) but the spirit of innovation would.

Except there wasn't anything as big as Homestuck before it either. It's not the era, Homestuck was just special, that's all. It had broad appeal. And there ARE other webcomics that are as popular if not moreso, they're just not as big HERE specifically, because they don't appeal to the kind of person who uses 4chan. Lore Olympus is huge, for example.

Not the same fucking thing. Matrix was hot as soon as it dropped, and like I said, Homestuck took a couple years to catch on. It doesn't fit anon's retarded theory.

so if the matrix was slept on and became popular in 2000-2001, it wouldn't have been a 90's movie?
you're a bit dumb huh

In what fucking way is Homestuck "rebelling against the developed styles of the 80s and 90s"? First of all it's a love-letter pastiche of video games from that era, not a rebellion, second it was mostly popular with 14 year old girls born in the mid/late 90s. The only way I could see its popularity being any kind of "rebellion against developed styles" is if you think the people who liked Homestuck were the same people who read non-webcomics, but they weren't. It was popular because teenaged girls loved shipping the trolls and humans, theorizing about the setting and classes and were excited to see where the story was going. It's almost like you retards weren't fucking there.
>>7608188
If the Matrix was slept on until 2001 I wouldn't be trying argue that it's popularity was something unique to the 90s you moron. I didn't say it wasn't made in 2009, if you can fucking read you'd see I said
>it was 2009 and only got big 2010-2011ish
Nowhere did I say it's not a 2009 webcomic.

I'm not him and nobody said Homestuck was rebelling, the statement was that young artists of 2000 were, which is what Homestuck is the product of. Homestuck didn't exist in a vacuum.

And it's a huge problem because the same genetic dead ends also made great mlp, steven universe, undertale/deltarune, hazbin hotel/halluva boss, murder drones and the rest of the schizo borderline bullshit writing the web has to offer.

Disconnect internet. Remove router hardware, don't use flash drives, don't tell anybody about your comic, maybe invest in a fire proof safe with combination lock.
