Infinite scrolling should be done away with. Pagination is much healthier for everyone's minds.
Or at least it should be a hybrid format and not something as unconscious as just scrolling.

Once these dark patterns to capture eye time manifest, they don’t go away unfortunately.
It is only necessary that at least some clients in Nostr resolve this and then just choose 🙂👍
People are so used to it, their brains will request the scroll because it needs the dopamine. Not a matter of choice unfortunately. Few
Most people, yes. But if we were to wait for the will and predisposition of the majority, not even Nostr would exist today.
Besides, new consumer niches are always emerging, and even old models can be much better developed, adapted and given a new purpose. A Nostr client could be created with a focus on increasing user awareness and organization, using one page per day, for example.
Even today, there are a significant number of people who are changing their habits, exchanging reading on regular screens (PC, tablet and cell phone) for ereaders, and even for physical books again, for reasons of visual comfort, health and others, such as distancing themselves from social networks.
The demand for health, in general, is only growing, so much so that even at Nostr, #Nosfabrica (a team focused on developing private sending of health data) was created with nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug and #Sobrkey from nostr:nprofile1qqs2wguqtndxwfg3j8y8sm6d5k8hjlnfwavzxqf4fw5wjx7tqdpde8qpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9thwden5te0wdjhg6pwdehhxarjxyhxxmmdqyvhwumn8ghj7ur4wfshv6tyvyhxummnw3ezumrpdejq95qast
