@wonderingwanderer @Sina yes, I liked things more when pagination was the default, for the same reason. I turn pagination back on where it's an option and use mods to re introduce where it is not. Portion control is very important for enjoying all things. I love ice cream but I would be very ill with an infinitely refilling bowl. A set amount suits me much better.
That's a really good analogy
@wonderingwanderer thanks! I will admit to being inspired by one of Brian Wansink's food psychology experiments where it was demonstrated that even people who tend to have a better sense of when they're full will still eat more soup than they planned to or think they did if their bowl is secretly hooked up to a siphon that refills the bowl with more soup. He's a bit discredited for self plagiarism but mindless eating, the book he wrote about the food psychology experiments he ran, has a lot of good concepts that likely hold up on repetition if we can incentivize review a bit better instead of novel breakthroughs constantly.
