Microsoft, Rockstar, Epic, and others are being sued for using "addictive psychological features" in games like Minecraft, GTA 5, and Fortnite.

      You can disagree. That doesnt make it invalid. Also, the point I‘m making still stands.

          I dont like you stating things as if they were an objective truth. It is your opinion that infinite scrolling is “good” or whatever you wanted to say. But it is a retention method and not just a QoL feature. There are articles explaining this and some websites have expressly disabled it because it leads to problems for people who are vulnerable.

              You can see from the downvotes that you‘re being trolly but not fun.

              I guess we just agree to disagree and go our seperate ways now.

              Have a good one.

      Many UX people disagree with you. Here’s a discussion on it, including the guy who invented infinite scroll:

      His name was Aza Raskin and he now says he’s deeply sorry and feels guilty about it.
