Feature description

In the Appearance tab of the Settings, an option allowing to disable infinite scrolling would be useful.
If the option is checked, paginate the content in the search results, from the trending tab, from the recommandations below the videos, etc.
The pagination would need to be implemented as (the main) part of this development.

Why do you want this feature?

Infinite scroll is bad for mental health, as it encourages users to keep scrolling and losing track of time.
Paginated content helps the user to make more informed decisions about their content consumption, by introducing a little more friction.
The aim is to break addictive behavior, or at least minimize it.

Additional information

Here is a preview of what I thought about. I thought about having a few scrolls (or even 1.5x the normal screen) before ending the page and show (only then) the pagination row. I am not an attention/addiction expert though, but my goal is for it to behave as a reminder that you are scrolling.

Please note: I would love to implement this feature, but I do not have any Kotlin experience at all (I am primarily a C# WPF dev ^^).
