Goomics VS GlobalComix

> What a shitty culture Google has fostered. If you're ever curious how exactly Google shoved unethical technologies on employees that didn't want to develop unethical technologies, I highly recommend reading Goomics, comics made internally by a Google employee who left the company in 2021. It reveals how there had been employee protest against developing tech for the military purposes, as well as protest against... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

The more we learn about the current corporate culture of Google, the easier it is to understand why things are the way they are. We know now that launching products, no matter how redundant, is what gets you promoted, not fixing bugs in existing products. We also know that there are teams that support mission-critical portions of Android that are deeply under-resourced, primarily because there's no incentive to... Source: over 1 year ago

> From the outside, a major source of Google's inefficiency seems to be an endless cycle of product churn and duplication, with the worst example being the 10-plus messaging apps Google has produced since Pichai took over in 2015. Our best insight into Google office politics comes from a series of previously internal-only Google comics [1] by Manu Cornet, which frequently describe launching a new product at... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

For sure there's the big 2 subscription services, but there's also a lot of good indie comics(for free & paid) on globalcomix. There's a wider variety of stories than just cape stuff, but there are plenty of those too (including mine). Source: about 1 year ago

That's largely what Global Comix is. The confusing thing, though, is that it used to be clear that they had an unlimited membership program (similar to Comixology Unlimited) on their main page, which I thought was their main model for reading, but now I don't seem to see that unless I bring up a comic listing that requires payment to purchase. There's an option to join an unlimited reading program at that point,... Source: about 1 year ago

Hey! I recently learned about https://comicfury.com/, so I'm thinking about moving there. Also https://globalcomix.com/ seems to be way kinder to non-romance comics. Source: over 1 year ago

Global Comix is probably the closest alternative to Comixology Unlimited and is an entirely subscription model. It started picking up steam after the Comixology mess-up last year, but it still doesn't have many big name publishers involved (Top Cow, Heavy Metal, Humanoids, and Valiant are some of the more well known ones).
