    My stats are frozen, nothing is moving on the number counts, but I know I have some viewers. Anyone else experiencing this?

If you notice that your stats haven't been updated in a while, rest assured that we are aware of the issue. You can expect that things will return to normal within a day or so."

      No input from Team Hubpages on this problem either.  But here's the gotcha...it appears that my stats were updated.

      Yes same here but I'm not too concerned because I've just deleted 450 articles and am about to abort this mission of 13 years and 32m views and head off into the sunset.
      Can I keep the profile going for a little bit longer just in case?

      I've also signed the petition recently set up re TAG's mistreatment of writers regarding intellectual property.

      All the very best to you and yours and grateful thanks for past generosities.

          Team Hubpages' assurances that this is something they were "working on" and that "stats will update soon," appears to be another misrepresentation on their part, Seth.  Nothing has been done.

Voices, for a couple of days I was getting a huge number of hits then they announced they had a problem with the hit counts.  They stopped the hit counters, corrected the problems, and everything went back to normal.  They day they froze the hits on HubPages I had a higher-than-normal hit count.  Did anyone else had a relatively high hit count when they froze it?

          I used to love awakening and checking now much money I'd made when I was asleep. I'd check the stats multiple times/day.

          As the figures dropped, that feeling gradually turned to dread.

          Now I probably check this account maybe twice/week at the most. Most of my HP accounts, I barely look at.

              My stats for views haven’t been updated for 11 days. As for  earnings- updated daily but are almost always NIL. If TAG is moving to towards closing Hubpages down the honourable thing would be to pay us what they owe us - and then do it.

                In the past, I would have commented to people worried about the stats freezing not to worry, as it's happened lots of times in the past.

                However, the fragile state of the site and the extended length of the freeze make it difficult to say what's going on.

                It feels like we're waiting for the shoe to drop nowadays.

        Yes, the "community" here has dwindled to a tiny fraction of what it once was and the forum won't last forever.

        HP promoted the idea of a "community" in the early days but that stopped some years ago. When the Community Manager, Samantha Cubbison, was dispensed with, I think that was the end of that.

    What's worse to me is, some of my articles have been not counting views for a month or so. This makes it extremely difficult to know what's going on.

    I had views last month that were fairly significant on several articles, and in the middle of the month they disappeared and since then, continue to attract zero views.

      Are you referring to your articles on Owlcation? You need to ask that they be moved to Discover if you want to earn from them. We are no longer allowed to earn from articles on any niche site.

    I asked my new best friend, ChatGPT, the following question and got the following answer.

    TAG is killing Hubpages and is stealing content. Is there a reasonable alternative?"


    ChatGPT said:

    Thought for 40s

    Short answer: yes—there are solid alternatives. And you’re not imagining the HubPages/TAG mess.

    What’s going on with HubPages/TAG (why writers are upset)

    Since late 2024, The Arena Group (TAG, the company that owns HubPages) began pivoting niche sites away from user-generated content (e.g., PetHelpful, Dengarden).
    HubPages

    In March/April 2025 TAG said revenue sharing would stop for articles that remained on several niche sites (Delishably, Hobbylark, Owlcation, WanderWisdom, LetterPile, WeHaveKids) unless authors asked to move pieces back to Discover.HubPages. Many writers missed the short window and saw earnings disappear.
    HubPages
    +1

    HubPages was acquired by Maven (now TAG), so policy shifts are centralized. (That’s the corporate through-line.)
    Wikipedia

    On “stealing content”: HubPages’ FAQ still says you own your content, but TAG’s broader terms include very wide licenses to use material submitted to their platforms—worth reading closely if you think your work was reused without consent.
    HubPages
    The Arena Group

    Good alternatives (pick based on your goal)
    If you want the most control + best long-term SEO

    Self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) with a reputable host. Monetize with AdSense/Ezoic/Raptive, affiliates, or your own products. (More setup, but you truly control it.)

    If you want “publish & earn” with low setup

    Vocal Media — pays per read, accepts evergreen how-to content similar to HP niches.

    NewsBreak Creator — local/newsy angles do best; ad-revenue share and bonuses.

    Medium Partner Program — member-based payouts; discovery can be hit-or-miss.

    Substack — email + web publishing; free or paid subscriptions.

    Ghost (hosted or self-hosted) — like Substack but you own everything; membership paywalls.
    (These are the platforms most writers are moving to now; community reports mirror this shift.)
    https://www.authorityhacker.com
    Blogging Guide

    If you want a newsletter-first strategy

    Substack or Ghost(Pro) — build an email list you control, then monetize with memberships (no platform algorithm anxiety).

    If you write in tight niches

    Consider niche communities (e.g., specific forums, specialty publications) that pay per article; or pitch digital mags directly.

    Practical next steps (to protect yourself & move)
    Export your HubPages work and keep dated copies.

    Decide on a home (your site vs. a new platform).

    If you see your work reused beyond what you agreed to, file a DMCA and request removal; document URLs and dates. (HP’s help pages still point to DMCA procedures.)
    HubPages

    If your articles are stuck on niche sites that stopped sharing revenue, email support to move them back to Discover.HubPages (which still pays) or request removal/permission to republish. The April 2025 notices listed a contact for moves.
    HubPages

    If you tell me your top 2–3 goals (max ad revenue, email list growth, least maintenance, etc.), I’ll recommend a precise stack (hosting + theme + ad network or the best single platform) and a quick migration plan.



    I am guessing I (we) missed the window to move from the niche sites.

    "I am guessing I (we) missed the window to move from the niche sites."

    I think if you email the team, they will move your articles to Discover. However, be aware of the risk of having your best niche site urls used for similar or near identical content.

    Whenever the stats freeze, I believe it always starts out measuring in minutes, hours, then goes to days since the last update.

    At this stage, it's at "Includes data from 4 weeks ago and earlier."

    It seems like only a matter of time before it starts measuring in months.

    After that, I guess it will be years...

          It kind of doesn't matter, as they can pay us as much or as little as they like.

          I just treat HP like social media nowadays. The earnings are inconsequential when it takes many months to reach a payout.

    Same for my new story. 24 hours and 0 stats yet I know people are reading.

      Was anyone out there close to a hits milestone?  It would be interesting to know if that's getting updated.

          Amazing, Patty. You must be there by now, even if you can't see it. I managed 12 million and then watched it drop as I deleted each article.

            I don't think so; I think they never anticipated rewarding more than 10 million views.

              I think I remember 50 million and 100 million badges and a few more, but that was around AD 2010. It was a long list, probably an incentive to boost articles production.

            I don't know if they have that badge. Maybe I remember the next badge to be for 50 million.

            Anyway, what is working on my account: earnings, broken links, sometimes the red and blue arrows change, new followers, email notifications, and forum posts. I'm having difficulty accessing my articles to edit them.

        I was 50K away from 15,000,000 when stats stopped.  Sounds like a long way off, but I used to get those views every 12 days or so.  Who knows now, maybe I will get there in 4 months, maybe I will never know.

      Authors here have spent years writing on this platform and suddenly the company now just shuts them out. I am apalled by the business ethics involved. Who would do business with the company given the experience of its long-term writers who helped it grow through so many years? How could any company management behave like this? We deserve at least some minimum level of transparency and reasonable response to our querries.

    I had sent an email to Team HubPages, enquiring about the frozen stats.
    I received a response from the Team HubPages yesterday.
    Same response as earlier----
    "We are working on the issue currently. We apologise for the inconvenience."
    Thanks

    So, it is a small team of four members. Eliminating the Associate Manager, Matt Wells, who is not traceable, we have three associates who must be striving hard to hold on.

    I suspect there is a purpose in our not knowing what our actual views are, from both a monetary and a legal perspective. This goes on too long.

              According to AI search, Hubpages employs 25 people as of August 2025.


              I wonder if one of 25 employees is responsible for performance management?

                There are only a couple of people left overseeing HP. And that is only in their spare time.

                There are no performance targets, therefore no performance management. No upgrades, no investment,  no technical tweaks, nothing. The site is slowly closing down.

                TAG is using Discover as a resource. Literally draining HubPages dry.

                    The Arena Group. More info at Wikipedia.

                    There haven’t been 25 staff at HP for sometime, AI can give incorrect info.

                HubPages is slowly dying while TAG steals content from HP. You'll read about it soon in the headlines.
