There are so many users out there on the internet, and in order for the internet to keep on growing, we need people to create things to entertain people, because that is what many people are on there for in the first place. But as we speak, the huge community of the internet is experiencing and extremely horrible problem that will lead to its demise, and that problem is StumbleUpon.

What is StumbleUpon?

Before we go too much further into this, lets take a look at what StumbleUpon is and why it must be destroyed. StumbleUpon is a Firefox/IE extension that allows it's users to explore the internet based on what their interests are. When you install the extension, you will be asked to create a user account. Then given a variety of content types and subjects that you want to find. You will then be given a toolbar with an evil little green and blue button that is placed on the far left of that toolbar. It is that button that will eventually be the downfall of the internet.

Once you click on that button a few times, you will get sent to various sites that StumbleUpon thinks you should go to based on what information you give it. Once you visit the site, you then have the option to tell the evil extension whether you "Like it" or you "Don't Like it". That is just when it begins. The more you click "I like" or "I don't like" after you visit a page, the more narrowed down your websites will be that you get to see every time you "Stumble".

So basically, you more you click the button, the more interesting stuff you get to see each time you click it.

Why it Must be Stopped

All this might sound fin, but have you thought about what will happen to all of the content that gets produced on the internet? Let me show you a relevant graph on the subject:

As you can see in the graph, when you install StumbleUpon, you productivity is slowley lost, until you are not doing anything productive on the internet at all, just clicking that button for endless nights at your computer chair.

What would happen if everyone gives into this and installs the extension? All third-party internet production would be lost, thats blogging, youtube, etc. Once everyone has given in, the internet will be controlled by websites like Myspace, Facebook, Google, and Digg. But with no content being created by its users, the interweb will collapse in upon itself. While users, are Stumbling at their computers, looking for good content, there will not be any.

Stop the Stumbling, Fight the Power!!
