When I was just starting to blog via social blogging platform which is not in this site but from a website way back from 2013, a social blogging site, that is what we call it back then which at first I thought was heaven -sent for me for the reason that I am already a dialysis patient at that time I can't really possibly find work nor I am qualified for any work whatsoever, but from that site I can make $16 dollars a day with only my hands and a little brain power plus my time as my investment although it is still hard to do considering that I was doing it till my body wants to rest already.

That place in the Internet in those years is called "Bubblews, short name from bubble news" which should be a place for people to interact normally and also just abiding by the site's basic rules which is a basic forum rules like not to plagiarize texts, photos, and all that until people just did not paid attention to it especially in the text side of blogging where the spammers would use translated texts and view, comment, and like other users posts.

Many had gone away with it which bankrupted the coffers of Bubblews because their business model aims to make revenue from ad impressions of users are doing when they visits other people's blogs and do comments plus likes which should be paid one cent per visit. But most of the users are not coming from Europe or US which is why Bubblews went under to bankruptcy which was made worse by spammers leaching out money from the website.

That is why many users are stuck with payments unpaid until the site got abandoned while other users stayed hoping for a comeback that never came.

It is the place where I learned about the aforementioned forum rules especially photo attribution while writing it seems to be so natural for me to do. All that I do is to read people's short posts and tell what are my thoughts and opinions about their subject matter. It is fun to do and in those times I can still type and do Internet things while sitting upright until to the months leading to my difficulty in sitting around for long for the reason that my backbone and my general bone health went downhill.

Anyway, when I was just starting to blog in Bubblews, I used a screenshot copy of a man being carried via a wheelchair with part of his leg blown-off with the bone showing. That event in Boston marathon bombing was my first blog post and I was in high spirits that my blog will at least be interesting for other people or users to visit, like, and comment. It is followed by other blog posts that earned until I came to the threshold of $25 accumulated dollars payout where I can request for a payout.

However, the payout didn't came and they cited the pertinent reason, I used a non-free, non-attributed photo, a photo that is basically owned by a news agency because I took a screenshot of one news sources video. I learned the lesson from it and continued to use the site because I was able to make earnings from that point onwards until the Bubblews faded-away and let to expire. About three years later I joined Steemit from a person in chat talking about Steemit all the time, I got curious, I saw that this was a blogging site and made an account because I have some experience in doing blogs. I was able to join during Steemit's high times and then I got lucky, until now. 😀👍
