So to me it makes sense for journalctl to page by default and i am doing "tail -n 500 -f /var/log/messages" or whatever logfle i want to watch since years because i want to see what happened before, can scroll up and watch what is going on the same works for "tail -n 500 -f /var/log/messages | grep whatever" for me i prcatically NEVER use any pager! so you see how different workflows are and that is why the unix-principle is "basic tools and stick them together" this way yours and mine way to do things are equally supported
