StumbleUpon. Every click brought you to a different website, depending on your preferences and voting.
The Infinite Scroll Algorithm used in today's TikTok/Facebook/Reddit is similar, but too sterile because it's all hosted in the same place and hence subject to roughly the same community constraints.
StumbleUpon separated the recommendation engine from the hosting, which I find a lot more valuable. Unfortunately I think there are not enough interesting and independent websites around anymore for that.
- marginalia_nu 5y agoDunno, I'm not convinced there are fewer interesting websites today, seems they're a lot harder to find though.
