It's just a broken implementation of pagination.

A scraper would move on to the next page almost immediately, real humans take a while to get to the next page.

Yeah, I considered that (and you are right), but if this is an attempt at pagination, it's a 'WTF' head scratcher as to why you'd make it so complicated. I'm not saying I know, just giving the coders the benefit of the doubt.

In any event, an explanation would put me at ease. When I see that I usually move on to my next list of aggregators.
