Hubs are not being moved to Discover where they are monetised.
HubPages is dead. You are wasting your time here.
When articles are moved to Discover, then you will earn pennies. HubPages is not sharing revenues like it did before. In other words, you are wasting your time. Several writers have left, and more are leaving because you can't make decent money here anymore.
It now takes 10-11 days for the article to be moved to Discover after publishing. My last article just got moved to Discover today.
However, earnings have dropped drastically. Yes, the site is on a downhill.
It's also got to do with the fact that traditional search has taken a major hit with AI coming to the forefront. AI overviews/summaries that now appear in search have caused a major decline in organic traffic.
The link below will provide a better understanding of how AI has affected publishers' websites.

I was wondering if new articles were getting moved to Discover. The site map for Discover.HubPages indicates that there has been a drop in moving articles over starting in July. There isn’t an August section yet. I know things are looking bad, but if they’re still moving articles over even after nearly two weeks, that is interesting. I wonder what happens if you go through the old fashioned “submit to a niche” form.
The difference between having ads and not having ads is a matter of a few cents. You'll earn next to nothing with seven articles so I wouldn't worry.

As a consequence of seeing a post in the political and social area discussions, I decided to do a Hub Pages search for marijuana. There are quite a few published hubs about it. So, are Hubbers allowed to write about it, or not? The hubs I saw had Google ads displayed on them, too. I am confused.
