Endure what exactly? The convenience of not having to click next? Laughable.
Uhm hello? Being subjected to dark patterns? Deceptive user interface design? Educate yourselves?
Infinite scrolling is not a dark pattern and also not deceptive in any way. A dark pattern is something like amazon asking you four times in different wording and different user interface if you would really like to cancel the service.
Of course king you are right you’ve changed my mind, I’m so lucky that I’ve found the only remaining expert in human in dark patterns. You should join the European commissions, all of those posers saying tiktok is addictive they’re just dumdum, there’s no such thing as an addictive app! All of those meta employees calling the app a drug they’re just doing so affectionately!
My infinite scrolling ebook reader is now also addictive and dangerous? Wtf are you on about, i’m talking about this specific feature not addicting algorithms.
