Is Bubblews the World's Largest Social Experiment?

I think I’ve figured out what Bubblews is really about.  If I am right, it’s actually a gigantic social experiment.  Where else can you connect with people all around the world as they share big and little stories about their lives and customs, families, and all the large and small details that make them real people?

I have always believed that if ordinary people around the world could talk directly to one another, we would find that we are all actually much alike.  Everyone wants enough food, a safe place to raise his or her family, and the ability to meet basic needs.  The Bubblews platform seems deliberately designed to try to meet the need for understanding among people of all cultures and social positions.  Without leaving the website, I have read stories about people living in Asia, Canada, South America, Europe and the Pacific Islands.  Some of these stories are well written, others struggle to express themselves.  Nearly all contain some little gem of knowledge or insight about the people who wrote them.

The only real downside to the site is that if you happen to violate one of their rules in a single article, you will be denied payment on your entire payout.  Hopefully, Bubblews will find a way to remedy that situation so that a writer is not penalized on their entire output for making a mistake on a single article.

It also doesn’t hurt that the site is one of the best-paying of its kind that I have run across.  It is going through some serious growing pains at the moment, so there are times when it is not possible to log in.  But in my opinion, it’s definitely worth the wait.

Whether this “social experiment” is intentional or not, I believe it is happening at Bubblews.  For this reason, if for no other, I will continue to support the site.
