Raskin, the infinite scroll’s inventor, has grown to abhor the function and is now an advocate for social media restrictions that limit the infinite scroll’s impact. He is also a co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, which “(works) to expose the drivers behind all extractive technologies steering our thoughts, behaviors, and actions.” He’s calculated — he says conservatively — that infinite scroll wastes 200,000 human lifetimes worth of time every single day, and tweeted that “optimizing something for ease-of-use does not mean best for the user or humanity.”
And this is the tweet that is being referenced:
So yeah, even the inventor of the infinite scroll himself regrets creating it.
