    StumbleUpon was my jam. I could procrastinate my homework for HOURS with that toolbar!

    The temptation to explore felt real. Not like clickbait.

    It was that wonderful time on the internet where you got the chance to enrich your knowledge without having an algorithm force stuff on you because it thinks it knows what you like.

    I love being surprised and love learning new things. The algorithms, AI, and SEO have stripped all of that curiosity and discovery away.
