Advice/Critique/Help this is where i draw the line

God forbid a girl wanna read a dp series ON THE APP. and it decides to pull one over on me smh… i’ve never really had a problem with the concept or execution of dp’s, i don’t see a problem (if the creators are getting a lil extra), i don’t mind it

but when shit like this happens it’s not enjoyable when using your app ((

just a lil vent (it’s been working well until now, that’s what’s pissing me off more, it’s ruining my flow)

Man, my debit card got cloned after watching one of the videos from webtoon. That was my source for reading the comics but at this point, i guess it's goodbye

Just clicked for add, gor the monopoly ad which i fat fingered on the screen trying to click on the X (which continues getting smaller and smaller), so instead of like showing a preview popup or app store, it took me to a site which i closed asap. This morning I got charged $10 for some solitare game, $1 for monopoly and some random site or something called Jackpot website for $16 ($27 total).

I cancelled the card, and just factory reset the phone i was using to read, and didn't download the app again. I've been an avid user of it since 2013-2014, and after +15 years, I can't continue supporting it. Don't know what I'll do to continue reading all my favorite stories.
