I don't think Twitter even lets you scroll at all, these days.
Anyway, "HN yells at cloud" was a fairly predictable low value comment. No, that's not what I mean. I mean "pretty apt" insofar as pagination would add no value. The order and count are changing so rapidly that infinite scroll is the obvious choice.
The order should not be changing - that’s another user-hostile invention designed to encourage doomscrolling. Increasing count is a non-issue because once you reach a content piece you saw previously you know where you are (same as any bulletin board).
People use these apps because of their personalized feeds. Saying the apps shouldn't have that, or calling it anti-user, seems pretty misaligned to what the users actually do on them. The apps are not bulletin boards.
Anyway, again - infinite scrolling is apt for their use cases. We can say that and also all frown at the concept of doomscrolling afterwards.
