Bubblews is in the news all for the wrong reasons

We keep reading about Bubblews not paying or it is under maintenance and so inaccessible, posts cannot be deleted, the owners are enjoying having parties elsewhere, hardly anyone likes or views posts, many have abandoned that site, they have been downgraded.................... Can you think of any more reasons why Bubblews is infamous?

When asked if the site is viable, a certain moderator said she thinks that it is but A & J may think differently. That sounds pretty dire to me. Sounds like the owners are considering it all over.

What they should do is start all over with another site paying better.

If the owners would have been honest, just like the Administrator of this site has been, people would have accepted not to be paid for a certain time to allow the site to fix the problems. They cheated the users, what do they expect now? We are tired to be cheated.

In a way, we all did agree to go without pay for a certain time, we all stayed when they cut the earnings in half, when they cut the rate. We all agreed to help them by staying on. What good did it do?

@allknowing I certainly had problems with deleting. I 'protested' by replacing them all with the same text, giving some of the story behind the site. Nothing much happened. Finally, I asked for my account to be deleted and that was done in just a couple of days. I had $2.74 there which I saw no hope of ever raising to the $50 mark. Even if I had, I very much doubted that I would ever see it!

Someone here had problems. Probably it was temporary. Even then why should it be that way

They told their members a year ago that they would not get all their money because of the members that were dishonest. So they took it out on everyone and took a certain % from everyone for the act of the dishonest ones. Than they did not pat alot of the members and dropped what they pay. They pay less than my lots.

Yes, here is another reason and a major one. The founders are not transparent. They do not keep their words.

@MarshaMusselman The lack of management or oversight on a regular basis on that website reminds me of a run-away train, just a cyberspace version of it. Sooner or later it will derail.

Now do they share what is happening when the site is acting up and such. They just sweep problems under the carpet over and over again. That carpet is getting pretty lumpy.

Their days are over. now only few fanboys and fangirls are there. and we all know that where that site is heading. Also it hardly pays out anymore. so it is more or less not worth our time for sure.

I have heard that too! They are all in partying! Anyways! That is their business. We can afford to lose some payments there but to they afford to lose the business and only gain a bad reputation?

@allknowing,Bubblews is a dying site.It's just a matter of time and it will become a history.It's a site,and perhaps the only site in which you can't rest assured that you will get paid even if you have crossed the payout level.

Maybe the ridiculously low rates Bubblews is "paying" now. Even if I believed I would get paid when I redeemed, I'd need to write hundreds of posts just to earn the $9 plus change that I'm short. It's not even worth trying to get there because there are many, many ways I could use my time more constructively.

I quit Bubble-ruse when they failed to lower the payout threshold even though earnings had virtually collapsed. It was clear - at least in my own head - that there was no real interest in building the site's membership or paying anyone any more.

They can close down. Can't they? I feel they are getting residual income from views and likes to our old posts.

We can delete the old ones, they are worthless anyway because with the upgrade all the photos disappeared and took most of the words with them. If you delete the new ones, you lose the money you earned on them but since they don't seem to be paying anyone anyway I guess its not important.

I left that site years ago. They did't paid me either like many members. I don't know about current condition of the site but have read many discussions about it on mylot. Still reading many negatives comments about site so I don't think I need to go on that site again.
