Pagination is perfectly fine, as long as it

1) isn't used to generate page views,

2) does not insult my capacity to read more than 50 words at a time (FOOORBES!),

3) is not used on a website that loads a lot of shit on each page

I don't use it too much, but unless the site provides anchor links to save your progress like bookmarks, it's going to be a pan to save your progress. Have fun reading that 15-page New Yorker article in one go.

Pagination sucks, when there isn't a need for it. Sometimes there is.
