Actually it does but pages are 500 top level entries long and even more with Reddit Gold.

  It doesn't paginate, it hides low-scoring comments and let you load them with AJAX. Pagination feels much worse than that, I basically never go to another page because I feel it's not worth it. However, I can't stop compulsively clicking on "load more comments", even when I know they're not worth it.

    Not only low-scoring, you can choose sorting method yourself. Still, you're right that paginated comments are appended on the page rather than loaded as a new view. My emphasis was on the fact that the number of loaded by default comments is rather high, making pagination necessary only on the very top commented stories, whereas on HN, as it is now, even quite noncontroversial entries' discussion threads are strongly chunked.

      Ah, I agree with you on that.
