    I also get what you mean. Petty laws are just the system’s way of more make-belief instead of fundamental true change. Also, infinite scroll is a horrible addiction pattern and it’s still a separate thing than regular scrolling of a finite amount of data.

      So should stock photography websites also be banned from allowing a scroll that is technically finite at 10 billion images or… are we offering exclusions that can be easily abused? Technically, there is a finite number of twitter and Snapchat posts if they never repeat previously viewed items.

      Good luck making that an enforceable law!! And, enjoy the false hope.

        Oh I’m not enforcing it. I just get that it’s one of those poison things in social media
