My latest evil advertising industry thought was for all of these infinite-scrolling social media feeds to force the scrolling to stop to watch a (10 second) ad, before you can keep scrolling.

Kind of like the commercial breaks of old, except for doom scrollers.

That would open the door for paid subscriptions, which can go either way in the eyes of the consumer. Paid social media hasn’t ever really played out well.

It's not an ad, but the Social Fixer[0] plugin (I use it on Firefox, pretty sure there's one for Chrome) will stop after X-many items and force you to click to load more

It also forces the feed to load in chronological order, if you like
