Reddit keeps on putting a banner at the bottom of its pages saying "Try the redesign! It has INFINITE SCROLLING!" and I am like, guys, that's the last thing I want, I like having those little moments where I have to explicitly decide if I want more of what you have or not, that makes it easier to stop and go do something useful.
