Unfortunately, fulltext RSS feeds are easy prey for scraper/spam sites, which is why most blogs don't use them. Nowadays, it looks like most people use RSS as more of a notification when new content is posted.
- pedrocr 16y agoI won't follow a blog that doesn't have a full RSS feed, it's just not worth it. I can't actually remember another blog I came across recently that didn't have full content, and the 100+ I follow include pretty mainstream stuff. So I'd be curious as to how you got to this conclusion. Also, why do you worry about spam sites?
- il 16y agoDifferent industries have different rules I suppose. Allright, I've enabled fulltext feeds for the time being, we'll see how it goes. Spam considerations aside, it's a tradeoff between subscriber counts and pageviews. I'm not entirely clear which metric's growth is more desirable.
- pedrocr 16y agoSubscribed. I'd be curious to find out what you conclude about the experience. Thanks.
