GoComics: seeking to be a dependence machine, to have the users' behavioral data, both, or something else?
Going by another post, they even sent a C&D letter to some tool that bridged their posts to RSS.

Comics Aggregator: workaround while “Nancy” is in transition
If you read the comic strip Nancy in the Comics Aggregator, you may have noticed that your comics page is loading slowly and displaying an error for Nancy.
This is because Nancy has stopped publishing new strips temporarily while transitioning to a new artist.
The slow page load is due to the fact that unfortunately GoComics has put some anti-scraping technology in front of their website which makes it take longer for the aggregator to look for strips there.
As a workaround you can switch to reading “Nancy (1-day delay)”, which I’ve just added to the aggregator. That will load faster, and once the strip starts publishing again it’ll return to your page the next day, then you can switch back to “Nancy” without the “(1-day delay)”.
As a reminder, maintaining the aggregator costs me time and money and your support would be appreciated.

I need to give credit where credit is due to #GoComics.
When I received the GoComics spam described above, I replied and complained (first image below). I did not expect a response.
But I actually received one, saying that they had unsubscribed me.
I wrote back and said that's nice but they didn't answer my questions (second image below).
They actually sent a substantive response (third image below).
They shouldn't have spammed me, but they handled my complaint about it pretty well. -
I have an account at https://GoComics.com/.
I have had the account for a very long time. I don't remember them sending me any spam in a very long time.
Today, they sent me marketing spam.
There is no "Unsubscribe" link anywhere in the email, there's just a "Manage preferences" link. That's a shitty dark pattern.
When I click the "Manage preferences" link, the page it brings me to claims that I am already unsubscribed from marketing emails.
Assholes.

I'm not sure whether this qualifies as a #TechIsShitDispatch, but I think it does, at least indirectly.
Probably because of all the #GenAI crawlers looking for content to steal, overnight last night https://GoComics.com/ added a CAPTCHA wall to their site which tripped up my comics aggregator (https://comics.kamens.us/). I had to spend several hours this morning refactoring it to use #Selenium, which I wouldn't have had to do if it weren't for all the shitty crawlers.

“The Argyle Sweater” added to comics aggregator
At a reader's request, I've added The Argyle Sweater from GoComics to the comics aggregator.
I'd never heard of this comic before receiving this request, and when I went to look at it I laughed out loud at all of its five most recent comics, so I've also added it to my own daily comics reading. You shou

OK, #introduction!
I'm a #cartoonist, #illustrator & #editor. My 1st comic was THE HOOKAH GIRL AND OTHER TRUE STORIES & I have a serialized comic, LEGENDS IN THE HEIGHTS, at #GoComics. I was a concept artist for the video games #SixAges and #LightsGoingOut and I edited the tabletop #RPG #Blackbirds.
I like to say my work is rooted in social justice w/a decorative flair. I'm also #Palestinian so I talk about that!
I love #BadMovies, #animals, #VideoGames, #bicycling, & #food & live in NYC!
