I may never get my adsense earnings

I've been a member of Hub Pages for many years. It's a content revenue-sharing website. You write articles there and have the opportunity to earn with Google AdSense, their Ad Program and their Amazon Program.
Recently, Hub Pages merged with Maven and I just found out that we can no longer use our own AdSense accounts on Hub Pages. I am very unhappy about that as Hub Pages was my main source of earnings on there.
I am less than two bucks away from reaching the $100 minimum on AdSense and now I won't be able to do that because I can no longer earn with Hub Pages. I do have some Google blogs linked to it as well but they do not seem to show ads at this time and I am not sure how to fix that.
There is no other way for me to earn with AdSense, which means I will never reach that $100. Seems the only way to get the money sitting in my AdSense account is to close it, which I do not want to do. I do not want to lose the money I've already earned.

They do this online all the time, to keep us from earning our payments. I've experienced this before, $2 away from the payout of $50. It sits there in my account for years, with no possible way to get there. It's their way of saying, 'HaHa, YOU LOSE!' The Internet is full of dishonesty!

I had it happen a few times where I had some earnings but then sites chose to shut down and I never got paid because minimum was not reached.

@lovebuglena They aren't really shut down, they just come back the next day under a different name. This cheats their members out of payments, while the site can start over fresh and new:(

Things like that make me crazy. I've run into similar situations with survey sites that close your account before you've had a chance to cash out. Good luck with finding a venue to earn that $2.

@lovebuglena Ugh that is such a pain. I'm sorry for this stressful experience. I hope it gets solved eventually.
