How To Get Around Censorship On HubPages

in #writing4 years ago (edited)

It has happened again. And again. And again! I attempted to compose two more articles that borderlined the controversial for publication on my HubPages channel, and this one dreaded message eventually appeared at the top of my electronic rough draft. It read:

WARNING: Advertising has been disabled on this article based on automatic content filters

Every time I see that same message appear at the top of a rough draft of an article I am putting together on HubPages, I want to scream from the top of my lungs. I had previously believed that I had to contact Team HubPages to get them to review my article for "appropriateness," so to speak. Fortunately, I found out that there was a much easier way to get around this annoying message on the HubPages writing platform and take their censorship bull by the horns.

If you read my article titled "HubPages Is Still Practicing Censorship," you're likely well aware by now of how annoying the automatic advertisements-disablement feature on the HubPages writing platform can be. If you have read any of my earlier articles here on the Hive writing platform, you will realize that censorship is no friend of mine.

I recently spent nearly a grueling week putting together an article about the late actor Robin Williams and how I felt about all those Jesus freaks on YouTube having made videos about him burning in Hell according to them. Wow. Really nice people. This article was over 10,000 words long, and I kept running into problems with the automatic advertisements-disablement feature on my HubPage channel. Anyhow, I have discovered a way to get around that same feature on HubPages.

Whenever that dreaded message that I described above appears at the top of an article that you are composing on HubPages, what you have to do to get rid of it is simply attempt to soften up the language in your article and it will eventually go away. For example, what I did in my most recent article on HubPages whenever that dreaded message would trigger off is I would find less harsh words to describe the same thought or idea. That is, if that dreaded message appeared at the top of my article, I would take a sentence that might read "I don't believe that all suicides go to Hell" and change it to "I don't believe that everyone who takes their own life spends eternity in the lake of fire."

What I would recommend is that you keep either your Microsoft Word application or your WordPerfect application open on your computer so that you can cut text from your HubPages article and momentarily paste it to a temporary Microsoft Word or WordPerfect document. That technique will allow you gradually to identify which paragraph and which words are triggering off the automatic advertisements-disablement feature on your HubPages channel. Usually, it is only a matter of replacing one word in a paragraph with a less harsh word that has the same definition. It can get monotonous at times, but it is well worth it in the long run. In other words, you want to get paid for your hard work. Don't let anything stand in the way of you monetizing your articles on any writing platform, especially HubPages.

It felt so good when I was able to submit my most recent article for publication on HubPages, even though I know that I am going to get a great amount of pushback and even hate for doing so. In any event, so long as the Quality Assessment Team at HubPages approves my article for publication, I'll be happy. I just hope that the Hive writing platform never implements an automatic advertisements-disablement feature, because I value my freedom to post whatever I please here on my Hive-Blog channel and my PEAKD channel. However, I don't have much faith concerning what the Steem writing platform will do with their blockchain now that advertisers have stormed their platform.

If the Hive writing platform ever gets a Quality Assessment Team that screens each and every article that Hiverians submit for publication, then this platform better do something to make it all worthwhile. For example, give us some kind of monetary bonus for having to go through the extra steps to get our prose and literary works published here on this platform.

I know that it always feels better just to be able to post exactly what you wish to convey. There is simply nothing that could ever replace artistic freedom. However, until the advertisers on HubPages get themselves out of their Puritanical black hole, writers and content creators will simply have to find inventive ways to get around their censorship features on that writing platform. If you haven't joined HubPages yet, then at least you'll now know what to expect when you finally do so.

I really cannot understand what is wrong with these advertisers for HubPages, because controversial articles sell and make money. I guess they want to make everything as challenging as possible for the passionate writers and content creators who post on the HubPages writing platform. When will our nation (the United States of America) mature beyond all of these outdated societal norms that hold us back from expressing our thoughts freely on digital platforms?

Anyhow, if any of you Hiverians out there are planning to join the HubPages writing platform, please do not hesitate to ask me whatever questions you wish about it. I would welcome a multitude of posts in my comments section below. I will likely be posting more articles about the HubPages writing platform here on my Hive-Blog channel and my PEAKD channel.😃

Hey,hey

It was nice to hear from you again, naglfar94. I realize I've been so absorbed into some projects I've been working on that I haven't posted anything new here on the Hive platform or on the HubPages platform for a while. However, I will be doing so before the summer is out. Other people here on the Hive platform keep saying not to go beyond two months without publishing something, but sometimes it just can't be helped. Anyhow, there has been a lot of strange stuff going on here in the United States of America ever since the beginning of the new presidential administration. It is so disturbing that gasoline prices and food prices are skyrocketing. People need both to survive. In any event, keep in touch. :-)

Hey Epic my friend you are alive! haha I was concerned for a while as I had not heard anything from you in a bit not even any new articles or nothing and I couldn't seem to reach ya on discord either left a few messages there. It is great to hear from you again bud Ah today was a lucky day for me it seems. So that is what you have been up to eh? been going into other projects eh? heh I think that is a good short break though as you have been writing like crazy for awhile so a good rest to refuel is good here and there. I am just glad you are alright! been wondering about you.

And as for the gas prices going up yes I heard about that a few times so it is true they are creeping up higher and higher huh I wonder what else is going to be seen different than before now ah gosh. Anyway it was great hearing from you again atleast I know you still drop in here whew thank god.

@naglfar I actually communicated with you on Discord not too long ago. For a while, the communications that I received on Discord were not generating alerts to me on my e-mail account. For that reason, I was unaware of any DMs that came into me on Discord in the interim. Anyhow, I'll keep checking my Discord account more directly to ensure that none of the DMs slip by me unnoticed. Hector Vera was asking me if I was still alive on Discord. I sent him a few responses to let him know that I was. Anyhow, I wanted to know if you have ever heard of the "Blurt" writing platform. Rycharde on Discord told me that it was easy to sign up for it so long as you had a Steemit account. I was thinking about starting a Blurt account, but I didn't know if it was worth it or not. I'd be interested in any feedback you might have about that platform.

Hey there Epic it has been awhile glad to hear from you buddy and sorry I was away again for short bit. Lotta stuff happened for me and a few things changed for me personally heh but I have been doing a lot better and feeling a lot better these days. And as for Discord, I think it only sometimes notifies via email I dunno what determines it notify. As for Blurt no I have not heard of that writing platform yet now that is new to me so it is connected to steemit aswell eh? I will have to look into it and go there aswell especially if you will be writing there now sometimes too as I have been waiting to read another one of yor articles.

Also Epic this may pique your interest but it would seem some have taken up the mantle of bothering YouTuber Denox with ridiculous stuff again this time a small troll channel set out to make many defaming videos and ''jokes'' that may interest you and the fact that this channel has now decided to attack you directly and your articles I find it very amusing because the user has not read a single one of yer articles or has made any attempt to even challenge anything in them I will just leave that over here
