I don't think Twitter even lets you scroll at all, these days.
Anyway, "HN yells at cloud" was a fairly predictable low value comment. No, that's not what I mean. I mean "pretty apt" insofar as pagination would add no value. The order and count are changing so rapidly that infinite scroll is the obvious choice.
- mdorazio 2y agoThe order should not be changing - that’s another user-hostile invention designed to encourage doomscrolling. Increasing count is a non-issue because once you reach a content piece you saw previously you know where you are (same as any bulletin board).
- lelandfe 2y agoPeople use these apps because of their personalized feeds. Saying the apps shouldn't have that, or calling it anti-user, seems pretty misaligned to what the users actually do on them. The apps are not bulletin boards. Anyway, again - infinite scrolling is apt for their use cases. We can say that and also all frown at the concept of doomscrolling afterwards.
