The user expectation is that if you refresh the page, you will see fresh content.

mine isnt?

if i refresh the page it should be almost the same. maybe a couple new things at the very top, but i should still be able to find the thing i was just looking at.

by comparison, facebook auto-reloads while you're halfway down a page, and wont show you any of the same things. its an incredibly poor experience

Not if you’re on page 2
