Another similar site that I used back in the day was StumbleUpon.

“Just one more click.” Addictive stuff xD

Anyone who remembers StumbleUpon will likely relate to (and probably also remember) this image https://beta-techcrunch-com.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/w820/s/bet...

Never since have I found such unique and interesting web apps/essays/videos. Was very cool how it took you to the actual site, but somehow felt a lot more curated than the link aggregators of the time. Every single click was so fun! One of my favorites was a sort of proto- /r/place, where you could place pixels as many times as you wanted on an infinite canvas. Sometimes you could return days or weeks later and still find your art.
I miss StumbleUpon so much, there was sooo much good stuff there. O wonder why more recent recommendation stuff isn't as good.
