I have tried about 100 times to use that hub hopping feature. It is the best way to find the worst hubs. I can't believe some of the stuff I have read, out of duty, out of curiosity, out of inquiry. But I never have been satisfied with it. The hubs featured there are by far low quality in a ratio of about 7 to 3. You read 10 and get about 3 good ones.
I can hardly make myself try it anymore.
I need some motivation, tell me why I should keep reading these awful things.
I flag them and help the hubpages staff keep the worst of it off of the network. I think that keeps the remaining stuff at a higher caliber.
The Hub Hopper was designed to run the newest Hubs on the site past more users to weed out the crap. If you go to the main Hub section and pick the "latest" option for viewing, you'll see virtually the same thing.
If you're looking for quality, take a break from hopping and read the weekly HubNuggets. Then move on to HubMob.
Like you said you do find a few good ones. I know they are few and far between, but they are there.
Some I like some I don't. I don't hub hop often but sometimes curiosity gets the best of me.
Thats how I found you Steve. And am following you as well.
Just kidding, actually I don't know how I found you. But anyway,
You never know what you will find.
Look at it like looking for precious metals, and hub hopping is your metal detector.
I do a few every day and "flag" it is the only way and if we all do it a bit, in our different time zones we should start to get on top of the low quality problem- but no, i dont like doing it... but I dont like doing the dishes but i still do them

I was really excited when I saw this new feature because I thought it was a great way to support, get to know and interact with other hubbers...But...for the most part, with some exceptions it is a load of garbage. When I think of all the painstaking time I take putting a hub together...and I...

Do you like the new hub hopping?What I do like about the new hub hopping is they way you can rate grammar separately from creativity. What I do not like, is we are forced to read a hub we have no interest in. It seems we can not hop forward without rating a hub. This will...

I decided to give hub hopping a try. I was curious to see how good (or bad) the hubs were. I found some good hubs, others not so much. After about my second or third hop, I came across a hub that read alright for the first two or three paragraphs, and then quickly devolved into some kind of...

What does everyone think of the new "Hub Hopping" process?Maybe, it's just me, but it is a little frustrating, and it was fun, but now? Not so sure about it. I may just need to adjust to it and keep at it before I make any final conclusions.

I have been hub hopping lately and I am disgusted with the incoherent garbage that I am coming across - nothing but poorly translated articles of about 400 words, usually without even any formatting. I would say that more than half of the articles I randomly encounter are clearly nothing but spun...

I like hopping hubs, learning new things and meeting other hubbers. However, I have absolutely no interest in reading hubs on religion, politics, poems, fictional stories or some far away place I will never visit so I skip them. Usually this is no big deal but I just hopped about 30 hubs and no...
