    This is no longer a writing site. Itis an advertising site. Congrats HP! You've taken a vibrant  venue for interaction between writers and made it a cheap bill board.

      And that's why many of us are no longer active on this site. I just visit HP to interact with people on the forums now. I haven't published anything original in quite a while. Although I am grateful for the residuals.

      Truthfully, it's been that way. Thats why our article writing is important. Big companies pay them to put ads on our articles and we get a share. Everything online is the same way. We are paid little and they are paid much more. imo

        Have you tried to read the articles on this site lately? They are advertisements for their businesses. I understand about ads on our articles and that is where our money comes from. I've been here for 14 years. I'm tired of the articles themselves being shameless advertising.

          I have. Noticed that months ago. That’s why I said it’s been that way. I just do it with the hopes of being noticed. Tbh

    Keep on visiting. This is what we should do. It may bring hope and our muse back.

      Apparently the article was removed. Now I'm curious as to what it was.

    Frankly, I am shocked that this site has fallen into the abyss of such low-class topics. I just told my friends at a community meeting that HubPages was a great place for their college children to write. I am not a negative person, nor do I judge others; however, I have been on this site for 12 years, and I am astonished that this would happen here.
