As always it's never that simple.

Infinite scroll is great for browsing images. That's whats it's always been good for.

Except it's not. Those image loads start to bring a heavy memory hit. It especially stinks on mobile browsers.

That's something that's fixable. It's just people who use infinite scroll don't do a good job of fixing some of the problems of causes. But that doesn't mean infinite scrolling is bad.

Unless you unload old images after you've already scrolled past them, in which case it works fine.
