I so fondly remember StumbleUpin, but I’m trying to recall what was so amazing about it. Was it just something of a novelty at the time or the autocuration of the decentralized web would still be relevant?

it seems like a few social media sites took over from the random delight of finding someone’s little weblog or side project.

I hear they’re trying to buy it back and restart with their uber gains

It wasn't completely random or completely (in the current social media sense) algorithmic: There was a settings page where you could pick among dozens of broad topics you were actually interested in and it would only give you results people categorized under it.
