Is Hub Pages Addictive?
I have to admit that I often come onto Hub Pages even before I've looked at my e-mails. At one time my e-mails were always the first priority when going on line. So I reckon Hub Pages must be addictive at least sometimes!
It might seem so. Especially when you get involved in the forums and reading other hubs. I personally spend a lot of time here.
Yes it is ,I have stop playing cafe world on facebook for HP. I find myself getting back to my normal schedule after 6 weeks now .But I still enjoy writing .
k well i wud have to admit to this one and i even come here far more than i check Facebook. But the truth is that hub pages is filled with people willing to share their views, showcase their talents and give out quality information to the hub page community so being addicted to checking all those things out is really justified
I think that social networking might actually have some elements of psychological addiction.
Hubpages isn't exactly a social network site...but it's got some attributes of social networking sites, doesn't it?
Some folks have literally created small businesses from their work on this site - that's where the focus should be....well, for broke folks like me, anyway :-D
I realized that the scoring system fascinates me. I am still working it out
I don't know if HP is addictive, but checking your Hub stats and affiliate earnings are.
Yep, I was going to take the day off HP today, yet here I am.
I'm addicted to checking how much money I've made. I check it hourly.
It's very addictive especially if you are a beginner. You find yourself thinking of what you can write about. You'll check your stats and earnings non-stop. It's good fun.
I really do find HP very addictive. I always check HP first before doing anything else. Every spare minute that I get, I find myself in the forums, answering questions and reading hubs. I check my earnings and like to see how my hubs are faring. When I am at work I check HP on my mobile phone in my breaks!
HP is indeed very addictive.I keep on coming back to it again and again.As a matter of fact i spend more than half part of my day browsing around reading the Hubs by fellow Hubbers. It is an interesting place and i am absolutely loving being here so far !!!
It definitely can be addictive. I catch myself browsing around on here as if it were Facebook or something.
Addictive? Why, what ever do you mean?!

I am addicted to HP. I checked every hour via mobile or desktop
It most certainly can be. It's the first thing I do in the morning after I take care of my dog and fix myself up some coffee. I get on hubpages, check my comments, answer some questions, read hubs, and manage to write at least one hub in the morning. Then I usually just stick to answering questions and reading them off and on through out the day. But def. can be addictive.
Yes, it certainly is!!! But it is also beneficial (for me anyway) in that it keeps me out of trouble.

It's sad but true that I was getting earnings and a few years back was paid $50 but for many years no money is credited to me. I have 85000 views. I stopped writing because of this but now let me reignite the topic.

I'm new here and things seem QUITE shifty I should say. My total page views have been 98 for a day or two and today it is 91. Now unless the Earth began a reverse rotation on its axis near the speed of light I doubt we have gone back in time without noticing. So how in the h@!! did that happen?This...

Okay, so now there's this whole new thing of increasing one's traffic by helping each other. So it's advocated by some that when we see something that we think our followers will like, we 'share' it.There are several problems.a) Anybody who is genuinely reading those people that they follow will...

IMPOSSIBLE EARNINGS ON HUB PAGES - Why is it so hardest to earn on hub pages ?I have my original 175 hubs published on hub pages. Out of these hubs, more than 150 are featured hubs. A lot of occasions I have appealed to Google Ad sense for re-instating the disabled account. As per hub pages...

It seems that it is taking longer and longer for updated earnings for the month to show up. This use to happen on week-ends, but now it seems to be a daily thing.
