Why are there so many hubbers with zero hubs? Did they ever have hubs?

Some people are here with the sole purpose of being a reader and thus join rather than visit as a guest so that they can get updates as soon as the authors they follow write a hub.

Some people visit Hubpages by chance. Others have read a blog, visited a profile or some place that says, "JOIN HUBPAGES. " So, they do.

Their intention may or may not be to become an author. I recently read that one person has been a member for years and just surfs, reads, comments and may even be an active person on the FORUM area of Hubpages. These people never actually author a Hub.

I suppose they may DREAM of writing one day or they just want to be part of this wonderful community. Thank you for posting this question in Hubs About Hubs because I used to wonder the same thing, too. Blessings, Debby.

In addition to the first two answers, there are some hubbers who have had their hubs unpublished because of repeated violations. I just saw a hubber complain about having 500+ hubs unpublished and the response by HP staff was that he had repeated violations. There are also those hubbers who have refused to have their hubs revised hence unpublished.

I know of two such hubbers.

I understand that there is a fine line between being constructive and being rude, but it's become ever so clear to me that many hubbers are scuttling away from the danger of appearing foul mouthed and/or offensive when they see mistakes or room for improvement. Those same hubbers are the fastest to make positive comments however, there is no problem there, after all, everyone loves positive feedback, right? When I see that someone is praising a hub exceedingly I immediately unfollow them.

Those people are not the sort of people that I want to associate with. They are not likely to be honest or constructive which is what every good writer needs to improve. Some of us forget that we're in a writing community and quality content is vital.

Having poor hubs being voted up to oblivion does nothing but make those of us who produce good hubs look bad. When people see HubPages, we want them to think that it is where high quality content prospers and low quality content fails. It is a fantastic idea to let anyone write and publish their own work straight away, but it only works if the community accurately judges the hubs that they see.

Being positive is great, it's wonderful... it's... well... positive. But let us not forget that negative feedback will help separate the good from the great. Then, from the great, we'll be able to better learn how to make our hubs great.

It benefits everyone to be brutally honest, why? Because when a reader that is not a hubber stumbles upon a poorly written hub, his opinion will also be brutally honest. That same opinion will associate itself with HubPages and then we all look bad.

Nobody needs that, nobody wants that. In short, vote down and comment when you know you should, it helps you and everyone else. Even in my own hubs I find shocking mistakes that no one had commented on.

So the next time you're exploring the hub-topics, just think to yourself "does this hub really deserve to be seen by over 56,000 people (as in the case of Education and Science)? Or should it be something much better? Remember, our best hubs are a representation of HubPages as a whole.

We're supposed to be a community of writers, so let's start acting like one!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
