All you have to do is post an item which is anti-Bubblews, and you'll get dozens of responses, many from those who were 'Always Paid.'
The site ripped off at least 80% of its users. It went down without a warning on November 15, 2015.
Yet, dozens of people will defend Bubblews with the ferocity as if you attacked their mother.
I have a sense of the ridiculous. I tend to pull the tongues and provoke responses from the mindless minions. I do this when discussing online writing scams like Bubblews as the evidence as to why they always work.
For those fortunate enough not to have experienced the Old Bub, a little history.
Two brilliant men who were at M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) decided to create an online writing scam. It was created to be a scam.
Remember, these aren't to stumble bums who need their shoes tied, these men are close to genius. They wanted some money making scheme, and creating an online writing site seemed simple enough.
To get users they claimed to pay for views, hits, likes.
Adsense pays a fraction of a cent for every view. In some cases it may be 6 views for 1c. In other cases, it could be 10 views for 1c. The more traffic a site has, the more Adsense pays.
You can find this out yourself, it isn't secret information.
Arvind Dixit and Jason created Bubblews deliberately using an 'unsustainable business model' because they wanted to make a lot of money very fast.
The adopted the typical 'Ponzi' style, that is pay every body the first time. These people will run around and bring in more warm bodies.
When it comes to the second payment, only a portion are paid.
For example, the site, Bubblews comes on full of brilliant plagiarised items. As people join, the plagiarised items are replaced with the posts of the members.
All members are paid the first time.
Those who bring in more warm bodies via their referrals are paid that second time. Those who don't but live in the 1st World, primarily America, will always be paid. This is to avoid law suits.
Those who do not live in a First World country, who have not brought in ten referrals are not paid.
As those who are 'Always Paid' will defend Bubblews with the blood of their children, there is no need for the Owners to say a word. They sit back, take their cut, pay new users and few of their shills, and leave the rest to complain and be slapped down by those who were 'Always Paid.'
This paradigm is why, a hundred years ago, Jay Gould said; "I can hire half the working class to kill the other half."
The owners of Bubblews were fully aware of this proclivity among site users and exploited it.
As time passed, to offer 'alternate facts' the level of redemption was raised from $25 to $50 which would impose a longer time period for the participant to reach the pay out.
This was done to slow the production of unsatisfied users joining the swelling ranks of those who were complaining on every possible venue.
When it seemed likely that the Scam would be exposed, Arvind and Jason shut the site and walked away.
One would assume that this would be sufficient evidence that the site was created and existed as a scam. That is a proper assumption if you attribute your intellect, or half of it, to those who were 'Always Paid' on Bubblews.
Online writing Scams Always work because there are dozens of Judas Goats willing to lead other to the slaughter for a few dollars. And defend their actions.
