> users can wait an extra second [every time they scroll to load new content]
which is exactly the bad experience the commenters above are talking about.
They understood your comment, and they disagree. This is not the good advice you think it is, unless your main goal is to score 100 on lighthouse for SEO purposes, not UX.
The loading spinner is specifically for people with shitty internet connections when loading dynamic data after the initial page load. And you're completely misunderstanding practically everything I wrote and replacing what I wrote with your assumptions. Go ahead, it's the internet, bash away all you want. But I know what I did, I know it works, and I know it's not janky at all - it's your assumptions that are wrong. The advice is good, your understanding of it is not. You don't need to reply, I won't be trying to explain any of this any further just so you can misunderstand everything I wrote, again.
