Precisely, for all the reasons you mention.

Note that this is your actual complaint:


--- Quote from: james_s on March 31, 2020, 05:34:28 am ---I also loathe those pages that just keep loading as you're scrolling, I didn't know the name for it but it has driven me nuts every time I've encountered it. You can't tell how much further you have to go ... Then of course the issue someone already mentioned about the difficulty in getting back where you were after reloading the page.

... not this:

I don't understand why the bad part of this feature always seems to accompany the good part.  Why can't we have both types of navigation?  It feels clunky and archaic to scroll to the top of the page and hit a wall for no reason, where I'm forced to move the mouse and keep clicking on the same (separate) control to continue reading in that direction. 

The infinite-scrolling model doesn't have to suck.  It just happens to do so, in all of its current incarnations.

Why are people still discussing it? Dave has already said no so it is not going to happen  :-//
I think you'll just have to agree to disagree and some people like it and some people don't, either way EEVBlog is not going to be moving.

@rt:
Isn’t that like throwing away a bunch of advertising income?

Because people are still interested in either what it's about or having an opinion? I've learnt a few things from this thread, unrelated to what Dave may or may not do, which I probably wouldn't have if everything you're not personally interested in got banned.
