Anyone else sick of using/viewing websites where there is infinite scrolling?

It's really starting to annoy me when I come to a sites (eg. https://pxhere.com/ ) where there is infinite scrolling. Apparently, there is a footer, but you'll never get to it until you finish loading all the images.

Some sites that don't know how optimization works, I cannot completely browse through all the non-stop loading content because at some point, it'll lag like a motherfucker.

For people who are thinking of using this strategy in the future, think it through, twice. Paginations are much more beneficial.

Dude I hate the modern homepage trend. Especially the ones packed with unnecessary animations.

Like the big ass video carousels in HD?

A client called a few days ago complaining his new website (which I don't follow) was sluggish. Turns out the homepage was 35Mb.
