> RSS readers act like email clients in how they render content via HTML. Unfortunately, email content isn't as rich as the JavaScript-powered web today. Maybe that's OK for email (and podcasts), but not for generic blog content. It's not clear if this is meant to address the needs of publishers or readers. For consumption, I consider refusing to run scripts or render sophisticated layouts a plus. Many browsers include reader modes to produce a similar effect because readers do not usually want auto-playing videos or email subscription overlays. Of course, if I was publishing something and trying to make money from it, I might want to play a video with ads in it regardless of the reader's preference, and I definitely want their email address even though they're already subscribed by RSS so that I have another means of competing for their attention.
