Last payment

   I was a little concerned, given the lack of, well, everything lately that payment would be late or non-existent. But, yay, it just arrived.
   
   Hubpages has been good to me over the years but recent events have persuaded me to remove my work. I'm proud that since receiving regular payments, I've never missed one, right to the end.
   
   I am grateful for the platform and the 12 million plus people who read my articles over the years.
   
   May I suggest that those in charge express appreciation to all the writers who kept you in business, especially the ones who have remained loyal (and hopeful) up to now.

      I also received my last payment. Eighteen-plus years, and it's time to leave. It's been quite a ride that could have ended on a better note.

      I may or may not reach the payout threshold by next month. Who knows? With the downgrade I think the last time I made that was back in April. This is bad (then again, you didn't need to tell you that). It likes how things went months before Sears eventually closed its doors. Nobody there working cared to tidy up the place and most things were  haphazardly stocked.

      If I read behind the lines correctly, does this mean Hubpages is on it's way out?
      I have to admit I haven't done much on here for years. My "lenses" from Squidoo all got absorbed into Hubpages when Squidoo sold out and my earnings dropped to a mere 1% of what they were, despite attempts to fix things.

   Yes, a little bit of recognition would be nice for the folks who created the product they had to sell, but I'll be immensely surprised if it happens.
   
   From hitting payout every month I'm now earning enough to reach the golden $50 once every four or five months. Be still my beating heart.

   I believe the “Thank you for being a part of HubPages over the years” from Haley Davis was intended as the thank you and goodbye.
   
   I have ten accounts and it was common for five or six of them to hit payout each month. Not anymore. It’s not coming back.
   
   The latest stats I’ve seen from Pew show that fewer searchers are going beyond the Google AI summary and clicking on the links to articles.
