                   Marc Leibowitz, StumbleUpon’s vice president of marketing and business development explains:

“Other platforms frankly do a really good job of [customization and self-expression] and that’s what they’re all about. While certain [StumbleUpon users] may not want to go, other services do offer a better experience of that,” he also added that “We’re talking about a small, albeit passionate, group of users that were using these bells and whistles…it was costing us time to maintain these things that would be better applied to improving the discovery experience,” - “We regret doing anything that disappoints our users, but this is being done to simplify the service and make it easier to use for a broader audience.”
