When Will the Bubble Pop?
Having gone to the Better Business Bureau and read what has recently happened with Bubblews' accreditation (from A+ to F), and reading through the list of complaints and Bubblews' justification of their rulings, I made a decision.
I have removed the rest of my posts at Bubblews, with the exception of one I wrote about the weather. And then, I wrote what I believe will be my last post there, and it was a long one.
Death, Divorce, or Disassociation--Goodbyes Are Never Easy
I highly doubt that it will get much traffic. Nor will many like or comment on it. That's been the experience I have seen when someone writes commentary that goes against the "status quo" or one does not subscribe to "group-think."
The saddest part of it all is that there are so many who still believe in the vision of CEO Dixit and President Zuccari. Unfortunately, there are some who also still believe the words of love, care, devotion, etc. that are strategically placed to encourage others to "hold on." "Soon," they are told.
The time has come for me to focus on other things. I am trying to be no longer interested in what Dixit and his team are doing. I do not need the aggravation, when I see the lack of respect.
But rather than continue here for thousands of characters, those interested can go find me on Bubblews. I won't repeat it all here.

Boy, am I glad I never joined Bubblews. I was really tempted at one time upon reading it was easy money but other things came up. Thank goodness for those other things.

I will definitely go and read. I just don't like giving up on goals and the harder they are to reach, the more determined I become. I simply ignore Arvind. I want to reach my $50regardless of whether I ever receive it or not. I want to prove it can be done.
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 2:26 PM
I certainly understand, but my fear for all is that one day, there will be no logging in and Arvind and his team will be long gone. But I "get" the goal part. I'm at $4.07 now. They can have it.
valmnz wrote on March 29, 2015, 2:28 PM
Mine is closer to $29. Btw, read your message on your profile page, you gave me a smile this morning

There is a point at which it is said to be "throwing good money after bad". You have reached that point and now is the time to just drop BW and forget it entirely
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 2:31 PM
If you read the article, you will see that I am grateful for it, for reasons beyond money. But I wouldn't recommend another to it ever again.
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 2:36 PM
Maybe they will let you have my $4.07 and you won't have to wait so long. LOL
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 2:38 PM
It's not the money...it's the fact that I have to leave some people who are important to me. The site, other than a way to reach people, is unimportant. It's the fall-out I have trouble with.

I never had any interaction with Bubblecrap...

It amazes me how many people still believe Bubble Ooze is a worthwhile place to be. Every site goes through hard times but failure to pay legitimate earnings is the pits!
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 3:12 PM
That would mean that valmnz would have $59+ now and could redeem. Maybe she would be paid by December, if the site were still up and running!

exactly &AbbyG ! And until such time they are held accountable by the law, and not just BBB, they will continue to be so. Even philosophers have to stop and do what is right.
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 3:14 PM
You are one of the lucky ones.
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 3:16 PM
Kasman Reading the BBB website was fascinating. I am amazed at the responses from Bubbs to the BBB. I am also surprised that more people did not wage a complaint.

It is amazing how many are still ooohhing and ahhing over what he says. But I am seeing less of that now when I read his posts there
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 3:37 PM
I started writing all my responses to him via my own posts/page. Rarely were they commented on, so who knows if they were read.

I deleted my account sometime, ago. I began writing at a site called Bestwriters just at the time someone named Ryan (I think) took off with the money. Now, it isn't paying, yet everyone is still writing there, hoping it'll build back up. It's such a friendly place to write. I'm sorry to see it have problems. I just came back to check here ... someone told me a few months ago that this wasn't doing well. I just decided to come check, and it looks like everyone is still writing, the site is beautiful, and it is doing well. Amazing, what people will say. It's my own fault for not coming to check earlier.

I have $39 in the bank which I left. And 4 weather posts I left.
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 4:54 PM
I know people who did not have screen shots and still got paid. I doubt that is happening now for anyone.
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 4:56 PM
It's not perfect, but I would say that it is doing well, because of the consistency of the management MaeLou and elitecodex and those of us who want to make this work. It's a team effort. I hope you will come back and join us.

Well, I couldn't leave without my final post. Something about me leaving with a long ass post that says what I think. I'll probably get deleted. LOL
GrannyGee wrote on March 29, 2015, 5:39 PM
Yes, I decided I would come back. I was glad to find out I was given wrong info. Normally I check for myself ... I didn't this time.
SoundNFury wrote on March 29, 2015, 5:57 PM
I checked in there the other day, and I was surprised to see a lot of people that I recognize from the past and from here still writing there. It seemed pretty dead, though, in terms of traffic. I had heard about their grade falling, and I wonder how many people will see that as the last straw.
allen0187 wrote on March 29, 2015, 6:28 PM
I stopped writing in that site a long time ago but I still visit it to read what my connections write. My way of supporting them... not the site!
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 8:20 PM
It seems like another season of a bad soap opera. Perhaps, this will be the season finale. ?
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 8:21 PM
I agree. It is the only reason that I really stuck around these past three months.
Alexandoy wrote on March 29, 2015, 9:30 PM
Bubbles is in the death throes since early this year. I am puzzled why some of my friends remain writing there when in fact they already know that traffic is almost nil and earnings is at the lowest.
CoralLevang wrote on March 29, 2015, 9:35 PM
They would likely say that it is because of their friends. Why they would not migrate here, I have no clue.
hanvanmeegerin wrote on March 30, 2015, 2:35 PM
Some believe that Bubblews was phony right from the get go? Do you believe they always split their ad revenues 50/50 with the writers and that 1 cent was always "truly" earned for each like, comment and view?
