| I dunno... I find that on most sites which implement infinite scroll, I like it. Reddit lets me browse stuff without interruption, and it's not like I'm ever going to "go back" to somewhere earlier in the list... which has probably changed in the past 10 minutes anyways. Shopping sites let me browse hundreds of shoes or shirts without interruption, and again it's not like I'm ever going to bookmark a segment of my search result. Same with Google Images. It's easy enough to put footer content in the header, or in the About page or something. (How often do you use a footer anyways?) And if you really need to start somewhere in the middle... usually filtering/sorting is a better approach anyways. E.g. for a blog, it's better to have a link to Jan 2015 articles than have a link to page 9 of posts. I find myself mildly annoyed when I have to click through to the next page of something. Obviously there are plenty of sites where it doesn't make sense... but I don't see it there too often since it's usually more work to program. This feels like a non-issue. And for example, here on HN when there are too many comments it requires me to click "More" to get to page 2. Why not just auto-load them when I reach the bottom instead? If I got that far, it's more likely than not that I want to read more. |
