I have been often annoyed at infinite scroll, and never at any of the other options offered. It's part of a general anti-pattern of pages loading new content when I didn't ask them to, but by far the most prevalent and annoying. I dislike infinite scroll, and I believe I am alone in that, and perhaps not even in the minority.

Particularly with search results where it's likely I'm going to need to look through a lot of results (e.g. real estate, hotel, dating sites) I find infinite scroll, if done right, makes it faster to comb through results. More importantly, though, I think this article is an anti-pattern of attempting to make broad conclusions from anecdotes and personal opinion with zero data to back it up.
