has there been a bunch of research that says that people really love to scroll? like i assume that including maximum scrolling must be good for revenue or people wouldn't be doing it, but i tend to just bail out if i'm not interested in the first few screenfulls of articles i see. the ringer is pretty much the worst offender in this regard, but it seems like most web 5.0 or whatever designs do this.

yeah, but even on phones i don't find endless scrolling especially pleasant. i guess it is sort of compulsive, like as long as you give users something to do, they'll keep doing it. a guy i work with apparently got to "the end" of his facebook feed recently, and i didn't think that was possible.
― circles, Friday, 16 September 2016 17:21 (seven years ago) link
it's possible if you unfollow most people
before i deleted my fb profile i would go on it once a week and nobody had updates and it was just the same posts as the week before

The latest comes the day after Doug Madory, Dyn’s director of Internet Analysis, gave a presentation at an industry conference about research he had done on questionable practices at BackConnect Inc., a firm that offers web services, including helping clients manage DDoS attacks. According to Madory, BackConnect had regularly spoofed internet addresses through a technique known as a “BGP hijack,” an aggressive tactic that pushes the bounds of accepted cyber-security industry practices.Madory’s research was conducted with Brian Krebs, a well-known writer on computer-security issues, who also published an article based on the research last month. Within hours, his website was hit by a “extremely large and unusual” DDoS attack, he wrote.

the bloomberg article mentions that the ddos attack is believed to have been conducted by a botnet of internet-connected appliances, here's an article about iot attacks:http://blog.level3.com/security/grinch-stole-iot/As with the gafgyt malware family, Mirai targets IoT devices. The majority of these bots are DVRs (>80percent) with the rest being routers and other miscellaneous devices, such as IP cameras and Linux servers.

i'm getting the vibe that blogs are BACK BACK BACK! even though some have already proclaimed the Death Of The Feed
is it because FB is not delivering the traffic it once did?
contextless destination pages somewhere in the soup of your website do not lend themselves to addictive repeat visits the way blogs do imo

But now a 12-person team of Redditors (led by Brandon Wink and Ron Vaisman) is taking the idea behind r/MemeEconomy and making a working, interactive meme stock market. They’re calling the trading tool NASDANQ, a cheeky financial system for an alternate universe adjacent to our own where meme is king.
