kwebtoon1-3, Exercise 3: Criticism and change

Model answer:

Why "the article's claims": the passage gives no figures or sources I could see, switches from history to criticism, and I did not read the BBC report it cites. Chapter 8 returns to pay and conditions.
Unsourced or unclear (any two): the "0.1%" of aspiring creators formally serialised; "over 100 cuts" for vertical scroll; an unnamed Kakao Webtoons artist who died at 37; the BBC report; the unfair ad-revenue sharing (no judge named); the "eight years" of piracy wording.

Later development: Kakao began shutting down webtoon services globally from October 2024 (Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia versions in 2025), and on 22 September 2026 announced it would shut down Tapas and merge Kakao Webtoon into KakaoPage by the end of 2026. Hold it loosely: it is recent, short and shows no visible source.
