The European Commission is for the first time tackling the addictiveness of social media in a fight against TikTok that may set new design standards for the world’s most popular apps.

Infinite scrolling stays my least favorite interface trend. What’s wrong with the pages? I’m very glad it would be changed.
How about “Webpage with ‘about us’ and other informing links converted to infinite scrolling, leaving those links at the end of infinity”?
I have chronic pain and want to limit clicking “Next” all the time
I’m sorry it’s painful for you! Then would be great to have an option to choose between scrolling and page views.
All of us have to endure so you can be pleased, of course, milord!
Endure what exactly? The convenience of not having to click next? Laughable.
Uhm hello? Being subjected to dark patterns? Deceptive user interface design? Educate yourselves?
Infinite scrolling is not a dark pattern and also not deceptive in any way. A dark pattern is something like amazon asking you four times in different wording and different user interface if you would really like to cancel the service.
Of course king you are right you’ve changed my mind, I’m so lucky that I’ve found the only remaining expert in human in dark patterns. You should join the European commissions, all of those posers saying tiktok is addictive they’re just dumdum, there’s no such thing as an addictive app! All of those meta employees calling the app a drug they’re just doing so affectionately!
My infinite scrolling ebook reader is now also addictive and dangerous? Wtf are you on about, i’m talking about this specific feature not addicting algorithms.
