Bubblews Blues....

West Haven, Connecticut
February 16, 2016 1:43pm CST
Its been about 4 months since the shut down of the infamous Bubblews site and I admit I do miss the site when it was in its golden age. I would make 30 bucks a week their and received over 1,000 dollars in payments in my one year run and then slowly but surely the site died. Now they made a site called sweeba wich looks very similar but I have no interest in joining, Im happy with myLot and I just miss Bubblews every soo often... How about you? Were you an ex bubbler?

Yes I was a bubbler but once bitten twice shy. I would not join their new site. They are cads and charlatans. Depriving people of money they earned there. Ignoring people and really were the pits in the end. Rather than own up and involve their members they chose to treat them with contempt. I met some lovely people over there and now many are here so Mylot gains!

Are sue that they have a new site? Is there evidence that Sweeba is run by the same perps?

Do you think Sweeba is related to the Bubblews crew in some way? I don't really miss Bubblews because you never knew for sure if you were doing to be paid. I made more than $1000 there too, but I always felt "dirty" when I wrote on Bubblews. I had a sense that there was something "not right" about that site. I miss Epinions, where I reviewed guitars and stereo gear (other stuff too) for over 10 years. I was making several hundred dollars a month there because of the passive income, and it was an active community.

@YesWay Yes, and there was also something "creepy" about the site administrators. Was it the "angry" way the TOS were written? Was it the way they sometimes paid and sometimes didn't? Was it the way Mr. Dixit seemed to have "delusions of adequacy"? I'm not sure.

I know what you mean about feeling dirty. It was all just so money hungry over there that you could just churn out complete rubbish over there and be rewarded for it.

Nope, I never did join there, as I figured that mylot is all I have ever needed. I am glad that I didn't join, now that it is closed down. Mylot is al I need when it comes to writing. I love it here, and have lots of fun as well. I will never leave here.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I wouldn't know either, but they should have a list of countries that they support, abnd if yours is listed, then they would. they do use paypal, and since you get paid from mylot that way, there should be no problem with clixsense at all.

I was there too. I had a rough start because they never paid me for months - and then when they started to pay, they made some major changes and then I could never make it payout. Thanks to myLot, many of our B friends came here and we could continue our friendships. Thanks to myLot, I can have trust in a site again and not ever worry about whether I will get paid or not. But yes, I do miss the ol' B for what it was at one time.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX They owed me at least half a year of when I first started there (and at the time you know they were paying quite well - I missed most of the that because of they never paid me). And then the following year it was ok for a while - but then it was scattered with a few missing redemptions again - and then we got the crazy new minimum. Sorry to hear they owed you a lot too!!

@much2say Yeah it was very upsetting and demotivating as well. I tried to stick around but then earnings became imposible and I just threw the towel in

I wrote for almost 3 years for Bubblews, it was nice and funny until it lasted, even if they cheated us several times during those three years.

I miss Helium, which was my first writing site. I found out about Bubblews through the forums there when it was shutting down (which respectably gave a many month warning and ability to download files). I didn't get as invested in the bubble because I knew it would break eventually and I was swamped from work any way. It would have been nice to have had more interaction with it in the early part of the glory days.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX The thing that was nice about Helium was the passive income. As long as I kept rating the things I wrote before kept producing funds. There were many months I didn't write at all and still made $25 each month.

I'm belonged to the site and got ripped off for a LOT of money - money that Arvin promised me in emails and strung me along for months about it. If he has anything to do with any other site (which he does) it's a guarantee that it will end up closing but not until it sucks the life out of it and sucks the bank dry

Yeah we were all on that same boat, I had about 900 bucks in redemptions and they sent me 60 dollars before closing down the site

When i first started online jobs i went through my share of problems most of the sites i visited and signed up even after reading the reviews were all scams and i never got tobe paid. Nowadays am very careful on the sites i decide to work for. Atleast for for you it was not with bubblews too bad they shut down its seems they used to pay well.
