Best Practices
All Caught Up
Use an indicator to inform users when they are caught up to help curb zombie scrolling.
Load More
A better alternative to infinite scrolling is to provide users a way to explicitly load more content.
Autoplay
Autoplay videos prevent users from making a conscious choice. A better alternative is to require an explicit action to prevent harmful binge watching.
News feeds are purposely designed to auto-refill with reasons to keep you scrolling, and purposely eliminate any reason for you to pause, reconsider or leave.
