Infinite Scroll Advantages and Disadvantages

It’s hard to break the power of infinite scroll, which, in the early 2010s, became a design practice standard.

They can surf the web and casually consume content without a pesky “Next page” button interrupting their flow. Without a natural stopping point, though, people tend to just keep going. Infinite scroll is designed to pull you in. Now, infinite scroll is ubiquitous on social media platforms, blogs and e-commerce sites.

Kevin Systrom: Instagram | Lex Fridman Podcast #243

Kevin Systrom is the co-founder and former CEO of Instagram. I love Lex Fridman's podcast. This episode with Kevin Systrom was a real eye opener.

Instagram was launched in 2010 and was acquired just 2 years later by Meta for $1.0 billion dollars. https://www.youtube.com/w…
