The “Black Webtopia” is an idea that is supported by the many web series that discuss social issues within the Black community that aren’t addressed in mainstream media. The web is home to these “consistent Black narratives” (73), and while this is great, those involved with making contributions to this “Black Webtopia” face downsides as well. Web series often have trouble getting a substantial audience and proper funding which  results in many series having to cancel their production. However, many creators keep contributing to the “webtopia” and it will continue to grow as the web series format gains popularity and creators are inspired by the freedom to create their own series for a specific audience.
