    I love how you say “I don’t blame the artist” and then end the comment with “You can do better, artist”.

    No. You do not have to get a social media account. They use their website to sell merch because hosting a webcomic has a lot of overhead costs but doesn’t generate much in the run of revenue. Hosting that many images adds up. It’s far easier to post it on other websites. One such place, as @Crul@lemm.ee listed, is their Webtoons page. Requires no sign up, requires no account. You can browse to your hearts content. More and more webcomics are being ported over to Webtoons now because it’s vastly cheaper and easier for the artist.
