Website behavior - pagination or scroll?

Thinking about how to set up the pages that display results from database (leaderboard, match log, YouTube video section, etc.) There are basically two ways we can go about this:

  • Pagination links. This is the traditional thing with numbered page buttons to load more results (like this). Some inconvenience from clicking the links, but easier to go far back in history.
  • Infinite scroll. More results are added to the bottom when you scroll down (like this). Slick when you want to see a couple of pages more, but inconvenient for going back 20 pages.
I suppose infinite scroll is the modern thing to do, so I'm leaning into that direction, but I can't set it up this minute anyway, so let's hear some opinions.

Why would you think that? I'm pretty sure most use a pc rather than a mobile device.
I'd prefer something like around 50-100 topics shown with pagination.
