There isn't a specific example feed. It used to happen for all unread posts. I don't know if it still happens or not as I don't leave enough posts unread anymore.
The exact behavior was with several hundred unread posts in Reader with the oldest unread being 2-3 months old the oldest posts would slowly disappear. I know it was happening because they would be posts I wanted to read but didn't have time to so I would notice when they disappeared. It is possible they were still in Reader in a read state but I never bothered to check.
- carterschonwald 15y agothis is actually (apparently) a intentional behavior, old posts that you never personally marked unread will after a month or several be marked read. I only recently discovered this myself, and yes it is an intentional behavior. (how else would you be able to handle reading all the newer articles? :p)
- abraham 15y agoInteresting. I always assumed it was just Google trying to keep the resources used by Reader to a more manageable level.
