I was going to say that the death of StumbleUpon really closed off whole portions of the web for me. Their algorithms were really top-notch and the replacement service isn't worth checking out. Does anyone know why they killed off StumbleUpon? It was probably the best part of 2005-2015 for me. Edit: I like your link but it seems to lack the interest-targeting algorithms that SU used to have. |

> Stumbleupon had a declining user base because more and more spam flooded the site. Moderation couldn’t just keep up to it. As a result, advertisements were increased to keep up the profits from the remaining users. As you might imagine, this pushed those remaining users off the site even more. At some point, the management decided to put effort into a new platform: Mix.com. The CEO also spent a lot of his time building Uber (yes, the taxi company).
