Well, it looks like nothing much has changed. There are still people there, but the traffic still seems to be quite low at the moment. The number of likes and comments of posts that are displayed on the homepage seems like such a small number when you compare it to what it was like before.
Edited to add: Bubblews is gone. I never got the $44+ that was in my bank page.
I tried to post an article though I don't know if that will make a difference. How 'bout you? How's your bank page there? At least the bank page here on Persona Paper is actually moving even if it does so at a slow rate.
Edited to add: While Persona Paper is still around, it has stopped paying. I never even got to cash out from this writing site.
I see that the Bubblews admin had published a lot of posts since I last checked. The latest one talked about the upcoming changes to Bubblews. The post in question just said that they will be launching the new Bubblews soon, but there was no set date. There was also no further info on what the changes are. Any ideas? I wonder what these changes are.
There was a lot of excerpts from this eBook that the site admin is apparently going to publish for free. Don't know much about it though. I also noticed that it seems like the number of likes and comments on the admin articles are dwindling. What are your thoughts on this?
Here are some of the comments from this article, back when it used to be posted elsewhere:

I still have $59 in my bank there but I won't bother to collect.
FreyaYuki replied to Alexandoy on March 24, 2015, 11:30 AM:
Why not? So, you'll just let them have it?
arthurchappell wrote on March 23, 2015, 7:09 AM:
My account there is about $22.00 at present - even without posting there since January it should go up more - may well post an article there soon to see how it fares - Arvind ought to sort Bubblews out before plugging his e-book which I don't care about - Alexandoy you are entitled to that money you have earned there and it is over $50.00 - I'd claim it right away as if the site folds you'll lose it all.
FreyaYuki replied to arthurchappell on March 24, 2015, 11:35 AM:
Agree with both of your points. If my bank there had over $50, I'd readily redeem it too. And, yeah, wasn't really interested in the e-book too. They're promising new changes to the site, but I don't know when they'll implement those new changes.

I don't know what is happening at Bubblews. BBB have since replied with regards to the ongoing case I've opened up with Bubblews on reflection of not being able to gain access to my account. According to Bubblews, I was not banned and I was not taken off their system. I can't wait for the next email to arrive from BBB as I already have screen shots that prove the system has no record of my email address or login detail. It will be interesting to then see what Bubblews do in terms of a reaction.
FreyaYuki replied to Nar2Reviews on March 24, 2015, 11:42 AM:
It's great that you got an initial response from the BBB. Hope you get the next message from them soon. It's good that you have screenshots to prove your case. Keep us posted. It is interesting to see what Bubblews will do about this.
MelissaE wrote on March 23, 2015, 7:15 AM:
I haven't been over there in about a month. I guess I need to check it out.
FreyaYuki replied to MelissaE on March 24, 2015, 11:43 AM:
Haven't been by there in a while either. It was only just now that I had the time to log in there and post a short article.
CalmGemini wrote on March 23, 2015, 7:31 AM:
Last year I had joined that site, and till date have written three or four posts in total.So I do not have much to say. I think Alexandoy should claim his money in the bank.
FreyaYuki replied to CalmGemini on March 24, 2015, 12:01 PM:
I still have quite a number of posts there though have already removed some.
CalmGemini replied to FreyaYuki on March 24, 2015, 1:42 PM:
Do you write there under the same name?
FreyaYuki replied to CalmGemini on March 25, 2015, 8:39 AM:
Yup. My account's still there. Just posted an article a few days ago.
crowntower wrote on March 23, 2015, 7:40 AM:
Hahahahaha never got $5 dollars, is not working because views are not counted anymore, and people don't get back the likes they were receiving... only a few who have appreciated works of others, and a lot of them don't really look back on the likes you give them and comments you give them.... that is why.
FreyaYuki replied to crowntower on March 24, 2015, 12:05 PM:
Looks like a lot of people have left the site as well. Traffic there seems very low at the moment. Even the posts by the admin only have a few hundred likes and comments when compared to their old posts where they got way more than that.
agvulpes wrote on March 23, 2015, 7:42 AM:
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. The keep promising all these updates, but if they are not careful, there will not be any members left to 'enjoy' the updates!
FreyaYuki replied to agvulpes on March 24, 2015, 12:12 PM:
LOL 😃. It does seem the members there are steadily decreasing along with the traffic. Even the posts by the admins only have a few hundred likes and comments when their older posts had way more than that.
peachpurple wrote on March 23, 2015, 8:07 AM:
my bank balance is $0.001, so not thinking about it.
FreyaYuki replied to peachpurple on March 24, 2015, 12:27 PM:
Since mine is at around $44+, didn't want to just let it go. Hope they can at least lower the payment threshold.
scheng1 wrote on March 23, 2015, 8:53 AM:
They are always talking about upcoming changes, but the only thing we want is good income.
FreyaYuki replied to scheng1 on March 24, 2015, 12:42 PM:
Yeah, I think they've been promising the new changes since the start of the new year, but it looks like they have yet to implement anything new. It would be nice if traffic and earnings could increase there or if they'll at least lower the payment threshold.
wolfgirl569 wrote on March 23, 2015, 10:02 AM:
I think it will soon be gone. All they are worried about is themselves over there.
FreyaYuki replied to wolfgirl569 on March 25, 2015, 8:55 AM:
Seems like there are fewer people there. Traffic and earnings are still at an all-time low.
LeaPea2417 wrote on March 23, 2015, 11:38 AM:
I think how Arvind keeps saying "changes are coming soon" is a big hoax. He has got to realize that hardly anybody trusts him anymore. It will fold as a site in the not too distant future.
FreyaYuki replied to LeaPea2417 on March 25, 2015, 9:00 AM:
Yeah, I noticed they've been saying that about changes since the new year, I think? Now, the latest post says that the changes are about to be implemented but there's still no set date and time for it.
SoundNFury wrote on March 23, 2015, 1:59 PM:
I haven't been over there in a few days, but I have also noticed that the likes and comments are still down. Seems fairly dead over there. My bank has literally not moved one cent in months! lol. Seems like a lot of the same old, same old - promises and more promises, but nothing has changed.
FreyaYuki replied to SoundNFury on March 25, 2015, 9:02 AM:
Noticed all that too. And, yeah, they've been talking about the changes months ago but it has yet to be implemented.
grandma20121 wrote on March 23, 2015, 2:40 PM:
Hmm I guess its just too soon to say yet we shall have to wait it out and see what and when the changes are and when they take place because we really have no idea.
FreyaYuki replied to grandma20121 on March 25, 2015, 9:11 AM:
Yeah, I'm wondering about the new changes too and when the changes will be implemented.
AliCanary wrote on March 23, 2015, 2:45 PM:
I read an article posted there by a friend of mine who sounded pretty excited to be making a DOLLAR a WEEK. This was with posting 2 or 3 articles a day and interacting as usual, so that may give you some perspective on what is likely to be required to get your bank up to $50.
Think about it--the best you can do now on Bubblews with regular posting is a dollar a week. You can cash out once a year.
FreyaYuki replied to AliCanary on March 25, 2015, 9:17 AM:
A dollar a week? 😟 Not something to be excited about at all especially not if you're trying to post there on a daily basis and if you're still interacting as usual. I don't log on there all the time anymore, but, every time I remember to do so and I see my bank page, I feel the need to post something since it's so near to $50 already. I wish they'd just lower the payment threshold for everyone.
Porcospino wrote on March 23, 2015, 5:12 PM:
Some of my old friends from Bubblews still post new articles, but I don't do that. I have $2 is my bank. It would take me ages to earn $48 and I don't trust the site anymore so I don't care about the two dollars.
FreyaYuki replied to Porcospino on March 25, 2015, 9:27 AM:
I see that there are still some people there but traffic and earnings are still way down.
BarbRad wrote on March 23, 2015, 5:24 PM:
I hope their eBook doesn't have any of our posts in it. Wouldn't that be a bummer?
FreyaYuki replied to BarbRad on March 25, 2015, 9:35 AM:
That'd be bad. I saw some posts that contain excerpts from this eBook and no one has complained of plagiarism so far, so all seems well.
AliCanary replied to BarbRad on March 25, 2015, 1:19 PM:
That is a horrifying thought, but you know their terms of service specifically state that they can use anything we post in whatever way they want, so they could do so with impugnity.
cinnafire wrote on March 23, 2015, 5:52 PM:
My thought is that a handful of sites will stick around, but many will pop up and go away. People will jump ship quickly to see where the most money can be found. A few will have a loyal following. Bubblews may make it. Traffic doesn't appear to be dropping a whole lot. Alexa ranking is still very high compared to others.
FreyaYuki replied to cinnafire on March 25, 2015, 9:38 AM:
Yeah, a lot of writing sites are closing down, having problems, lowering their pay rate, etc.
beachchair wrote on March 25, 2015, 6:05 PM:
I bailed on that site a while ago. It is not the same as it was. Good luck to you as you navigate it. I hope you get what you deserve. You worked for you and deserve it.
FreyaYuki replied to beachchair on March 26, 2015, 7:46 AM:
I still post there sometimes since I currently have around $44 in the bank page there. I wish they'd just lower the payment threshold already. A lot of other people also want the threshold to be lowered.
