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.

It really is dead, isn't it?
Nah only the commercial sites. The blogsphere, scientific and nerd websites, fediverse, etc are all very much alive and thriving
My less tech savy younger family members have learned to completely ignore ads, wait for the skip button and effectively avoid all the false skip buttons on account of playing mobile games with ads since they were babies. Advertisers have perfected the human brain of people who rawdog the internet to be incapable of retaining any information from any ad they see and finding skip buttons wherever they may be.
From my personal observational account, i think I've only seen boomers and some older millennials ever interacting with ads. A gen alpha's brain wouldn't even remember an ad they just saw. They have perfected filtering them.
Ads work differently than that. At least good ones do.
A good ad is almost imperceptible in presenting an idea to you. I have no doubt that people that are bombarded with ads that they say they "ignore" are still influenced over not having seen the ad at all
I still have an itch from last time
