#Bubblews Can't Be Bothered.

I woke up this morning thinking about how I'm going to tackle today's writing activities. It's part of my daily routine along with questioning whether Bubblews is worth writing on anymore or not. I'm leaning more towards not since I haven't seen any changes in the amount of earnings from any of my posts. 

In actuality I really don't see anything because there's no way to check the analytics on the site for views or anything. We're pretty much writing blind, which is a break big change from where it used to be. It might be something they'll put up in the future but that's doubtful.

It's doubtful because there's no indication, like before, that they're at least moving through a phase toward improvement for the users of their service. Basically, they're simply improving things for themselves, which they're free to do as it's their company after all. But they've already erased pending redemption amounts along with the disputes to basically start over. 

The admins posted about this and stated that they did it because there had been too much fraudulent activity. The fact is that they couldn't be bothered to investigate legitimate claims versus illegitimate ones and give out what was owed, which is where the core of the problem is. It's part of our nature to let go of things when we can't hold onto them anymore. Did we really expect them to act any differently?

Those who were writing on the site bought it for a while though because that's how they were pitching themselves to social media, to people who were writing on their services. Now, there's no hint of that with their new approach to their business model. They've become just like any other content creation platform, only just a bit worse.

As a content creation platform, they were at a good point back before late 2014 when they extended the time it would take to get paid up to two months. On top of that, they placed limits to redeem once a month. Again, this is putting them on the same level as other services which pay out monthly. Problem is that at this point, the users of the site have to do more hurdles than before to make it worth while.
