Pagination provides structure which most humans prefer (myself included). I cannot stand endless scrolling with loading pauses every so often if I scroll too quickly. In Google searches, I have my results set at 50 results per page and when I am conducting research, this provides me a guideline when I know it is time to try some different search terms.

Some hybrid scheme may be more acceptable in which the page folds segments that you have scrolled a certain distance past, and unfolds a segment that you are entering. A Floating nav helper could display which segment/page you are currently on and perhaps even provide the ability to jump a previous/next or x segment. Best of both worlds™ navigation
