webtoons recently went public (which i'm sure is not at all related to how underwater they are), so of course they are investing in some nice buzz pieces to generate investor interest. This highlighted line is for those people: investors. Webtoons has never been a business for artists.

Books are cheap to write. A single artist can produce one using a pencil and paper.

Just the text in the screenshot alone reads as a Investor Pitch Packet for the big fish they desperately need to attract. No one involved cares about the art they own nor the artists they exploit.

Notice how the BBC said the webcomic industry made $4.7B. Wouldn't it be something if everyone drawing the comics with their tablets could actually earn that collectively?

If they went public it’s now impossible for them to ever make good decisions again. Literally the worst thing you can ever do as a business is be beholden to shareholders.
