The problem with infinite scroll sites is the memory footprint and slowing down of broswers when people run flash ads or video ads in sidebars and between posts or worse.. if they use images in the infinite scroll at all.. Man, I dont know about you but after about 5 minutes of scrolling through, browser needs to be restarted and I dont bother looking through categories, tag pages etc to find more content.. fuckit... they lost me.

Try doing this on mobile, too... holy fuck its pointless.

A mix of both is the way to go. Let it infinite scroll for lets say instead of the typical 5 posts most blog do, lets say 25, then give a pagination for the next page of 25 more in infinite scroll format.
