    As others have said, it's been the policy for some years now. And as has also been said it was the only way to deal with low-quality. I don't think there is any choice. I've had Hubs unfeatured for low-traffic, I'll try to save them for a year or two and if they can't be saved here I move them. I don't blame admin, they have to put something in place that's feasible to deal with low-quality; of course, they end up losing some quality content, but it's better than having the bad stuff affect the site.

        There's a bit of a grace period before a Hub will be unfeatured for lack of traffic. My experience is that it takes a year, sometimes less than a year. I think it happened that your content has just run up against that grace period. As others have said it has nothing to do with quality of content but has to do with the only feasible way to deal with quality on the site. Unfortunately, some good content gets unfeatured in the process. I know that you are a good writer, I've read your Hubs and like them. So, your writing is an example of content that is good but gets sacrificed because admin had to use the most feasible system possible to deal with site-wide problems.

          One of the easiest ways to create Hub titles that will attract traffic is to use Google Suggest, the keywords that appear in a drop-down when you are typing into the search engine. But you have to be a little clever and creative about it; for instance, let's say you are looking for what is important in making go-carts; you could type in -go carts- and then type in -importance of- and Google will suggest, for instance, -the importance of using the right wood for go carts-

          I fabricated that example, just hoping to convey the basic idea for easy keyword research.
