Good question. I know my number has not budged no matter what I do, so I agree-why bother.
When it first came out, I thought it was a good idea to help out other Hubbers. But I found so few hubs that I could feel comfortable referencing to in my articles...that my readers would be interested in...that I stopped bothering with it.
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.
