People probably do this because some sites only give you a preview in the feed, to force you to go to the site and view the ads.
So if you want the full post in the feed reader, you need to pull the post as well.
- hylaride 2y agoThis. My feed reader pulls a "reader" view so I don't have to leave the app. I normally wouldn't mind going to the website, except that to do so would mean waiting for it to fully load, dealing with javascript popups, and often bad scrolljacking. This person isn't thinking as a user.
