Why did infinite scroll fail at Etsy?

Infinite scroll with a footer is a clear anti-pattern. If a site has both, they don't have a coherent idea of their UX.

Are there any sites that were designed from the start with infinite scroll that also have footers?

It wasn't from the start, but Facebook, after years, still has infinite scroll with a footer. I have no idea how they could possibly not have fixed it yet, unless it's some kind of deliberate prank.

The footer is also available in the rightmost column.
