I mean this when i think of "How NewGrounds can improve/be more pleasant to users and be more anti-Twitter".

I think pages should be a standards or at least optional in any site hosting art, specially because they used to be standard.

They can help make things more organized/structured.

But i think they are special in situations where someone closes their browser or had their computer turn off and they restart it.

If the website acknowledges pages in the url, you can go back to which pages you were in, whereas in an infinite scroll design page, you loose progress.

To me, infinite scroll is a clear side effect of modern websites being designed with modern phones in mind.

Specially because that format is much nicer in a device where you simply swipe your fingers in a screen than one where you twitch your finger in a mouse wheel.

I also think these site formats say something about generations: An old internet ruled by nerds that had to invest a little on tech stuff, so they encourage new members to research a forum before repeating topics or bumping dead threads.

And a new internet that is commonly used by supposedly "casual users", who don't take it seriously and post "non-content" like food pictures, in a chain of "forgotten memories".

Tumblr as a site has pages, even if it's a buggy site.

But it boggles my mind why artists even used Twitter, because the layout is clearly limited for art sharing (Besides crippling image resolution, the awful video/gif player, the algorithms, the hostile nature of people there etc).

People think modern phones ruined the internet just because "it allowed too many people to use it and they weren't nerdy enough to understand it" but leave out the actual designs of the websites.

If there's options for these settings and i just didn't look for them, then i'm dumb for making this post.

Maybe some people here thought of the same and it might have been suggested already.

Then again, there could be some good reasons why the layout is the way it is here.
