dewline: "Fail" (failure)

Okay, Marissa Mayer: I just got a look at the new Flickr setup.

Endless scrolling?  You messed up by inflicting that on me. I don't have access to THAT much bandwidth!

What is the obsession with endless scrolling, anyway? What good does it actually do anyone? Users, vendors, advertisers ...? I don't get it, I really don't understand what problem it's supposed to solve or need it's supposed to fill.

Unless ... unless the idea is that people will stay on a site longer, as the bottom recedes into eternity? All that bandwidth just to get the average stay-on-site time a little longer?

ISPs charging extra for "bandwidth hogs" may be the beneficiaries here.
