A "Load More" button would only get you a bunch of ads, wouldn't it? Don't they tend to prioritize loading of ad data on a page?
If they took it seriously, they'd buy some competence.
They'll just claim that 'unlimited' doesn't mean what 'unlimited' means, it means something else.
Poll taxes are illegal for a reason, you know...
Oh no no no no, this law only applies to the peons, I'm sure.
The older generation always shits on the one that follows.
This. Definitely a worthy crowdsourcing project.
Pizza delivery drivers were killing people in their haste to avoid their wages being docked for being late with deliveries?
