Hello, All I have been away from HubPages for like 15 years.. Boy do I feel old. Recently came back and revised an article and wrote a new one. I haven’t received barely any views or comments. I remember when I was writing long, long ago I would usually get some feedback or views. Not that I am expecting much.
How has HubPages changed in the last 15 years??? for those of you who have been here awhile.
Thanks for any feedback. I am wondering if it’s worth returning.
Welcome back
Much has changed, including HubPages' owners. Our articles are plastered in ads. Earnings have plummeted and huge numbers of writers have moved on. It's all a bit disheartening, tbh.
Comments are no longer a thing so you won't see any feedback on your articles.
However, there are a few of us left, hanging on in the hope of improvements.
Oh that’s sad to hear . It’s odd that comments aren’t allowed. I miss the old days lol. Good luck hanging on I hope you still do well.
I am thinking returning may not be worth it sadly.
HubPages has made some unsound decisions, and we're paying for them.
Many changes on HP in the past years. I miss the comment section.
Hello miss b4murray. I welcome you back. I will see you here at hub pages.
Bev has summed it up well. We are all in a slough of despond over what HubPages has become.
Yeah, its got a bit inactive around here. Hubopages was the last of the great content farms and I wonder if its an approach that doesn't work well any more. At least not if you aren't one of those spammy sites that specializes in clickbait articles.
Once upon a time, you had 25 featured articles. I think you moved out most of them. Now there are only 7 left. So, it is natural to witness no traffic.
Change is the law of nature. Old order passeth for the new one. Sams is with life too.

I'd like to suggest we get rid of Hubber Score - and perhaps even Hub Scores. They:- are constantly misunderstood;- cause a lot of upset and grief in the forums; and- encourage newbie Hubbers to direct their efforts in entirely wrong directionsFor instance, I've known newbie Hubbers stop...

I'm little bit confused. I wrote 7 articles, all of which are long and good quality contet, well illustrated, featured. Nevertheless in sum of all views in one month I got less than 200. Also only three people started following me and I never receive any kind of comments. Everything would be great...

Wow! What do you do when someone writes a hub attacking you personally because you deleted a comment they posted to your hub?
