What has happenned to Hub Hopping?
Hmm. I know that since we've been stuck with that new feed on our signed-in/home page (and that forces a bunch of Hubs on us, whether we want to see them or not), I've been flagging and voting down left and right. Maybe HP knows that if it forces stuff on people that's going to aggravate them, they'll be that much more in the mood to flag and vote down stuff they REALLY find low quality and aggravating.
(I haven't hopped since that switch to the new home page. I liked the old way, where we'd see only Hubs written by people we follow (but that meant hopping would be a separate activity, because I only follow "a certain type" of Hubbers (namely, the ones who generally write decent quality stuff) .
Correction to above: Turns out I finally got rid of the unwanted Hubs on my page.
Clears my page (and consequently, head) so I can go looking for what I wanted to find my own way.

Better mix of categories & no hubs shown twice during hub hopping.
I like hopping hubs, learning new things and meeting other hubbers. However, I have absolutely no interest in reading hubs on religion, politics, poems, fictional stories or some far away place I will never visit so I skip them. Usually this is no big deal but I just hopped about 30 hubs and no...
