StumbleUpon Guilt
For those of you who use StumbleUpon regularly, do you encounter a situation where a website is very nice, very well made, or has a very good purpose, BUT does not inspire or interest you in any way?
Perhaps it’s some very well done art or photography, or a worthy local cause in a foreign country, or something which you support but don’t necessarily want to see more sites about.
Do you thumb it up or down? You don’t want to thumb it down because it’s not something poor quality. But you don’t want to thumb it up because you don’t see it as relevant to your interests and don’t want more sites like that showing up.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the way StumbleUpon works and the influence of thumbs up/down, but sometimes the little voice in my head says, “Go ahead! Just thumb it down. No one will notice. This highly efficient humanitarian charity isn’t even on your continent!”
