IIRC that was Frog's secret plan with Dynamite a few years ago at least for printing and distribution. They weren't pure enough however, meaning they didn't kiss EVS' ass hard enough apparently.
The Dynamite thing was a secret deal with Ethan. And it worked as long as the secret was kept. It was only when the deal was made public that everything collapsed.
The deal was actually sort of known almost from the beginning. Not long before Ethan quit DC, he did a video on his channel where he toured Dynamite. Then it was kind of obvious at least to some people that Ribbitcoin was being done by Dynamite. But nothing could be proved in any absolute sense. And none of the talk about it appeared in places where the SJWs would see it.
Ethan eventually started rewarding his friends with Dynamite related things. He made promises to people at the top of warcampaign and he also started getting deals for variant covers.
But then the war between the JACK show regulars and Warcampaign broke out. It can be strongly suspected that the feud started in part because Ethan couldn't keep everyone happy over the Dynamite promises he had made. Some people thought they deserved more than what they were getting. Warcampaign in particular got angry that Anna got Dynamite variant cover (of course just like with Isom, a personal feud turned into a quality of comic art debate in public)
After they all started going after each other, all the secrets related to the Dynamite deal started to spill out and the usual SJW suspects started putting pressure on Dynamite., That more or less brought everything to an end.
The Dynamite deal was really good for EVS. But it was a real mistake on his part bringing any of those other people into it.
Any kind of publisher deal for comicsgate was always kind of doomed by their decision to focus on producing $100 comic books published every few years. And that their comics were nothing special.
