There seems to be no end to the scrolling to the bottom. Some sites have “Go to bottom” and “Go to top”. Is it there and I’m missing it?

It’s a new thing some websites are doing. Infinite scrolling. The site automatically generates links to internal or external articles, in hopes you’ll find something you want to click on. This generates ad revenue.
@Uasal‘s got it. There is no bottom of the page. It’s “infinite scrolling” (hadn’t heard that term before—cool!).
It doesn’t give you an option of going faster if you what you’re looking for is at the very bottom. It doesn’t tell you how long it will take. It forces a potential customer to waste a ton of time. Getting potential customers or current customers to waste a ton of time can’t be what SI is aaiming to do.
There is no bottom. That is what “infinite” means…
How can it be that there is no bottom? There is a beginning. Maybe the word “infinite” is a misnomer in this case.
“Contact” has to be somewhere.
What are you trying to achieve?
What tab leads to that page though?
There isn’t one. Sometimes you have to find the back door. The back door, for anyone who has been on the internet in any serious capacity, is usually named “sitemap”.
@Uasal Thanks. Why though the “back door” Aren’t they interested in selling as many as possible?
Go to bottom – Ctrl + End
Go to top – Ctrl + Home
@LeonardKonrad Thank you.
Ctrl +End works with the link in my OP, but it doesn’t work with Sports Illustrated http://www.si.com/.
Since I don’t have a Home key, I tried Ctrl+ End + back arrow (I tried both keys for back arrow) it doesn’t work.
Thanks.
