I'm sitting here debating if it's worth my time to go back to writing on Bubblews. It was the first place I ever did online writing so I do have sort of a soft spot in my heart for it. The other place I write, PersonaPaper, isn't taking off as fast as I'd hoped it would. I left Bubblews this winter after I started to have trouble with payouts and, for the first time ever, not getting responses when I contacted the staff to ask questions.
So, for people who are still currently writing over there - is it worth it for me to go back? How are things over there?

I am there because I need to get back to writing online. I am hoping that it will work.. but the ridiculously high payout will drive people away. If the pace of earning was fast no one would complain.. Now it seems like it will take years to reach payout.

I agree with @Letranknight2015. I used to write there untill they stopped paying. I think those that are there, do just for the friendship of it. I left a long time ago.

I like Persona Paper, but it wants to stay able to pay what it promises so it doesn't promise more than it can pay. The more of us who continue to write there, the more the site will be able to earn. probably will spend more time here now, because it's easier and more fun, but I will stick with Persona Paper. At least I know they pay because I've been paid. I know I won't be paid again any time soon because I only post once or twice a week now. My blogging takes too much time. As for Bubblews, I consider myself inactive again I don't expect I'll ever reach payout again, and even it I do, they may find some excuse not to pay me because of my posts near the end of last year and beginning of this.

I also had problems with Bubblews staff. They did not respond to my question

Most sites will not respond to every single question. They simply cannot afford the time to answer questions if the answer is already in the Rules or the Terms and Conditions. It rather depends on what your question was (and on when you asked it). If it was about earnings that you felt you should have been paid, I do know that they very rarely answered questions like that.
I am not sure whether things are a little different now that they have set up an automated reply system and 'Val' is now the member of staff who identifies with customer support. I have certainly had two queries responded to reasonably satisfactorily and in a timely fashion since the recent update.

@Cristi_Ichim Sometimes the Rules and Terms can be slightly vague for a purpose. Sometimes the support person will scan the message quickly (or just the title) and think "That's in the Terms/Rules. No need to respond."
What was your question? (You can PM me, if you prefer. Either way, I'll see if I can answer it and explain why Bubblews might not have responded.)

@owlwings It was not about earnings and the Rules and Terms were not specific enough about what I asked and I asked them to be specific about something and they did not reply.

Bubblews is still there.Traffic is too low and members leaving for greener pastures.However I am still there and am active.I am still hopeful about its revival.

I have been stuck at $6 and some change since October. It is not worth it to me. My time is valuable and I can't afford to waste it.

I am still there. I keep the account and visit once in a while. I am still hoping for the best

I agree more or less with @Owlings.I am a member at Bubblews.But I do not post there regularly.I would have liked it if they changed two things .One is that they should pay the persons writing the comments(like Persona Paper)and the maximum for redemption should be lowered.Then writing there would be worth our time.
