Existential Comics used to be one of my favorite comic strips. It consistently posted comics that were extremely clever and funny, while also introducing me to new philosophical concepts that I could look up and learn from.

Recently, the creator has taken on an anticapitalist streak, and many of the comics are about that. This would be fine if they were intelligent critiques of capitalism, or actually funny, but they are neither; just the sort of "billionares secretly rule the world, economics is a fake disciplice" posturing that you see on social media, repackageded into the comic strip format and reposted over and over.

I still check the site regularly, but the number of good comics seems to be steadily decreasing. The creator is using the site more and more as a vehicle to try to push their own opinions onto people and less and less as a vehicle to teach people about philosophy and/or make them laugh.

This market resolves to YES if I'm still reading Existential Comics at the end of 2023, and to NO if I'm not.
