I really need to get off my chest about infinite scrolling that is seemingly infesting the internet.
I despise it, badly and here's why.
When I went through my "liked playlist" on YouTube for nostalgia purpose to see what videos have I watched and liked in the past, I accidentally left-clicked on one of my videos and after clicking "show more" a couple of times, it pretty much killed it for me in the end because after what happened, I had to click "show more" multiple times again just to get to where I stayed. Oh and in the mean time, it can happen again, let's say.
Frustration kicks in, really hard. It's tedious as hell.
Question is, why? Why this feature? Is this a new software technological "advancement"? Because let me tell you, it isn't an advancement. People are suppose to make things less tedious and frustrating, not fuel it.
How hard is it to bring back a normal page to page feature with numbers to choose? It isn't. Really, it makes going through pages of certain site so much easier. If you accidentally refresh a page, you stay on the page you refreshed.
Same thing if your computer shuts down for some reason, at least you remember on what page you've been and just skip to there, instead of clicking "show more" a couple of times just to go through that stuff again.
It's a shame and the only site that still has an option to revert back to old-school searching in my recent memory, is DeviantART. Though, it doesn't have pages labeled with numbers, at least it isn't on one page, slowing down the computer with masses of art or whatever on the screen.
Not only that but infinite scrolling can bug out and can load forever till you refresh the page, especially if you clicked on "show more" multiple times, that can be quite tedious because, guess what? You are back to square one.
So, I just wish they could bring back normal search functions. Not asking much here.
That's all.
