A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's pretty standard behavior of RSS feeds nowadays, unfortunately. It makes sense; if you don't actually go to their website they don't make any money from ad views. How else are they supposed to pay the bills?
There are some RSS apps that will actually go and fetch the text from the website for you but that's usually a subscription service, and it may or may not look pretty depending on how the website is formatted.
not everyone writes for profit
Cool story I guess? Most writers and journalists need to eat.

Ah yes, so because SOME of them do it for free, that means NONE of them should try to get paid for their valuable time. Makes perfect sense.
Let's see your list of RSS feeds. How many of them do it for free, and how many expect to be paid?
