Speaking as someone who browses the web with JavaScript disabled:

To the sort of person who installs NoScript breaking infinite scrolling is one of several advantages. Infinite scrolling is a great tell that there is an infinite amount of content with no marginal value.

You know "infinite scroll" isn't literally infinite right? It's just a next page button triggered at a scroll offset.

Of course it is not literally infinite, but when viewing a stream like LinkedIn for example, it may as well be infinite in practice.

It's nowhere near as good as a next page button.

I didn’t say it is (I think it’s conditional on the type of interface and data involved)
