Almost certainly. I don't recall the contest anon is referring to, but there was a time where Hiveworks was very much in the position for webcomics that Glitch seems to be in now - if you're affiliated with them, you've "made it" in the indie scene. Of course, Hiveworks is just a veneer for a circle of webcomic friends boosting each other with the backing of a company that does web hosting services. They have a sham admissions process and post about their supposed standards for affiliates (regular updates, etc. which many of their core creators fail to follow by the way), but nobody who was not already associated with the core comics (via friendships or cross comic collabs) ever actually joined via application. Sometimes Hiveworks would reach out and absorb something already super popular (like Awkward Zombie), but the general webcomic public was not welcome despite many struggling webcomic authors desperate to join for the signal boost.
It's been years since I checked in on the webcomic scene so I have no idea how things are doing, but I would expect Glitch to have a similar "don't call us, we'll call you" policy no matter what they say publicly. It just false hope.
