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.

MODERATORS
Unsure what platform you're using, but on desktop there are options to tell it you're not interested in a video or even a whole channel.
And once I've done that a few times, I get recommendations that are clearly the algorithm struggling to figure me out. What also makes me suspect it has no idea is the appearance of the "watch it again" section. "Ah-ha! We know you watched these videos, so you're bound to want to watch them again!" and then I say I'm not interested in those either.
When the AI revolution comes, that one particularly confused robot is gonna come find me, I can tell.
From my personal anecdotal experience those buttons are not very effective.
Desktop, I only use NewPipe on phone. The idea is to prevent those videos listed in my watch history. But I do use the “I'm not interested” button sometimes to further fine tune the recommendation.
