kwebtoon1-8, Exercise 2: Views and pay

Model answer:

300 million cumulative page views counts readership, not income: the article gives no contract terms with Daum, no payment per view and no costs, so it says how popular the works were and nothing about what the creator earned. (The one payment in the article is a single foreign publishing deal.)

Chapter 4's three figures: $27 million paid to more than 120,000 English-language creators across 2020-2021 (about $225 each); "top creators" in Korea averaging $250,000 a year; one creator earning around $9 million in 2021. They cannot be averaged because they measure different groups (all paid creators, the top group, one outlier), different markets and different periods, and the articles do not say whether the totals are gross or net of the platform's share.
