After successfully recuperating tiktok, politicians are going to once again exploit pseudo-science to outlaw the "infinite scroll." Get ready for the comeback of the pager. Thanks libs!

Because all infinite scrolling does is remove to annoyance of hitting next page

That is definitely not all it does.

That certainly is all it does. Infinite scrolling simply loads more data when you reach the bottom of the page. It’s used in place of pagination/buttons to load that content.

You’re probably thinking of some algorithm that provides never ending stream of content.
