To me, I think it depends on what is the goal when you are searching something and what is that data in particular. Infinite scroll and pagination offer different user experience proposes, and make different assumptions about the user.
To give a blatant example where I don't see a pagination system making that much sense, pagination on a personalized news feed of some social media. That information is changing constantly. It's a never-ending information stream.
Even in the case here, if you are searching for a blog or podcast, you could just link that blog article rather than the page search where you found that article. Especially in a situation where you don't have any interaction with that content aside clicking on it. Especially when the search engine doesn't seem to have millions of results, which seems to be the case here, it seems to be a relatively small list of blogs submitted to this site.
Infinite scroll on the other hand have some problems especially in situations where you are expect to interact with that content one way or the other (such as a commentary section). In fact, when dealing with really large amounts of data, it essentially buries that data. Think about a commentary section with 60.000 commentaries. Essentially 98% of them are hidden way because the browser will crash before loading them. So if you decide to go down infinite scroll route, I think the very least you could do would be offer another way to search for stuff, such as search option inside the commentary section (although nobody does that). But I think a pagination system would be better in that situation.
Actually because of the infinite scroll and basically mental way that social media works I gave it up...
No, it's not constantly changing. There was a publication at rhw certain time and it can be shown at that time (ideally you can have inbox with unread entries). Right no it's impossible to follow anything in any sane manner...
to that end I use only RSS and from social perspective I added a couple of reddit sub feeds there and that's all...
IMO pagination makes sense with feeds when a feed can be sorted in some ordering. I'd rather jump to page 6 instead of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling to get back.

Anyway, just some food for thoughts.
