Much agreed. There really should be a section for the low tier creators that continually update. If they don't update for say... two weeks or so, they could be removed from that section. A kind of (and I've even started my first forum post with this) "Bottom of the Barrel" section or maybe a "Forgotten Gems" section. A place where overlooked comics can go to live and be kindly noticed.
But because it's all up to the staff whether or not a comic is "trending" or should be a part of the old "new+noteworthy", a lot of comics with potential that are not featured in any list shrivel up and die, or they stay in the low tier for a long time.
In some regard, it's not fair. It's good business for Tapastic to promote the comics that will fishnet in more views and account holders, but such promotionalization alienates potential comic makers that have a lot of skill, but just don't reach the demographic that they want.
But here's the thing: people don't know what they want.
True, there's hundreds of comics our there and they're hard to sift through. But why is it that the top tier creators seem very similar in terms of humor, ideas, and format? Because to Tapastic, that's what sells. (As for Premium, that's more for the elite, and I'm not going into that) Any new comic that fits the "Tapastic" sort of humor, the kind of comic that always appears in the daily feed, will most likely be noticed immediately, but to me, eventually forgotten.
Tapastic needs to open up a little.
Similar to Shonen Jump's way of the cult hit, they need to take some risks. When SJ stumbled upon Death Note, little did they realize what a big hit it would be. It gave the company millions and still does to this day. They still have the flagship series, but they have opened up to more, "unique" series, leading to an explosion of sales. (I would never have found or read Toriko otherwise for crying out loud)
I understand that it is a big risk, but this site is a community. And to always deliver the same meal to the customer every time will not bring back many. Variety brings in more in the end.
