Wow now that was a change
I don't know how many of you are still with bubblews but if you are what are your thoughts on the changes they just made today?
Not only can you only cash out one time in 30 days but now you have to wait 60 days to get your money.
And now instead of getting a penny per view, comment and view you are only getting 1 penny per 5 likes, and 5 comments.
I think they are going to have to change something because a lot of people are now leaving the site they don't think it is worth it any more, and then bubblews is going to be seeing a huge drop in their money and then maybe that will get them to change everything back to how it was . I know a lot of it had to do with the people who were cheating the site so now thanks to them everyone is paying :(

I have a feeling a mass migration will happen. Their new rates is just unrealistic.

Yea I was testing with my posts I shared with the social media's to see and gave no coins then I got 3 likes and had no coins still then once it hit 5 likes it went up a penny, then got 10 likes it went up another penny. I am gonna stick it out but wow was this a major change for them.

Couldn't happened to a nicer bunch of folks. Now, let's see PersonaPaper shine!

Yes that would be awesome if this site could get in the spot light now :)

I'm in total agreement with you!

With a previous announcement that indicated the company was looking to other ventures, perhaps they are working at ending the site (just a thought).

tshively I saw the changes and I think they are good and needed ones there. As for 1 penny for 5 like and comments, where sis you get that information from? I did not see that there anywhere. Unless someone just decided to write a post with that in it. That makes no sense. All they said was that the earnings will be different from country to country because of the ads. It seems they make more money with Ads in america than in the Philippines. So we earn based on ad revenue. That is totally understandable. I think the people getting upset there are the ones that looked at Bubblews as a job. It is not a job. It is a social site like here at Persona Paper. Do you think Persona Paper is a job? No it's not. The changes there were needed badly. And I am glad to see that they are doing something about the issues there instead of just sitting around doing nothing and letting the site die off. I for one will remain a member there and here.

When we up the rate though, the cashout will also be increased.
MaeLou wrote on October 14, 2014, 10:18 PM
At least coming here, you know ahead of time it could go up or down based on revenue. Bubblews just flat out dropped their rate without a warning.

I think the issue for a lot of people is that it is "unknown" of how much you earn. It depends on which country views your posts it seems like. It's a gamble in how much you earn. There is no transparency.. everything is vague.

Eh, I think we all saw that coming. File this under "A few jerks always screw it up for the rest of us."

The writing has been on the wall there for a while, it was just written in invisible ink. Even the announcements raise more questions than answers. My preference is to give my time and energy to a site that clearly states its rules and updates, which is why I prefer Persona Paper.

MaeLou I think they did the right thing. They say they get paid different rates from different countries with the ads. I believe that. And so they pay accordingly. They cannot sustain the site if they are paying more than they are bringing in. Although the U.S. Canada and the UK get paid more than other countries. It will all work out in the long run. Also, most of the spammers and scammers and plagiarists were from some of those other countries that now have to wait up to 90 days to get their payments and earn less. That to me is a good thing. I have seen changes there in the posts as well as the comments. I no longer see spam comments and see much more coherent posts by the members.

Yes, we are aware of the different ad revenue from different countries, as we experience it too. I was just saying that the US doesn't know what they will earn per post now, and neither will the phillipines. There is no longer an amount attached with anything, which makes everyone believe that they don't know if what they are getting paid is legitimate.

MaeLou I understand that. But they said there are more changes to come. But in time. So I feel we should let these changes calm down before jumping the gun. I have noticed my earnings moving forward. And so did others. They still pay better than other sites so far. And besides, they did not hire us like Persona Paper did not hire us. We decided to join these sites. Thats how I see it.

I know that a lot of people have left but there are some that are determined to make a go of it and there are others like me that are basically making it their "facebook", because we don't like facebook. We are going to continue to use it to visit and interact with our friends there and post occasional updates. I admit, I won't be doing lengthy tutorials or informational posts on there anymore because the pay rate doesn't warrant the time spent to do those things, but I'm not completely leaving.

By now , I am sure you heard that Bubblews died and no longer exists. It is sad because it had such potential if it had been run by people who knew what they were doing.
