Syndicate?

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Tapas is, as I understand, a platform for self-publishing webcomics. I don't understand why this is called a "syndicate". Tapas (website) or Tapas (app) seems like a much more natural title. You wouldn't describe YouTube as a "syndicate", for example.

I see that there's a Category:Webcomic syndicates. However, this seems to be used for associations formed by different webcomic authors, which is more in line with how the term is usually used.

Maybe someone more familiar with webcomics can enlighten me? Otherwise, if no one objects, I will be moving the article to Tapas (website). --Un assiolo (talk) 22:00, 13 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I agree with your move to website. This isn't a syndicate in the sense of creators coming together to help each other. This is a business asking creators to come to it in a promoter/creator partnership. HenryCrun15 (talk) 03:12, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
