As a publisher/creator, I support myself from online advertising. When I read something in a feed reader, I'm getting that info without "paying" for it by being exposed to the advertising.
I can't run ads on my own startup if I'm not willing to look at the ads on other people's sites. It's the same reason I don't and won't run an ad blocker script in my browser.
I'd add that I enjoy seeing the actual designs of the site's too. Reading everything in one place seems so boring.
Hey, just dont put the full text into the feed! I keep tabs on tons of sites that produce their own content, as well as aggregate or link to others by RSS, and usually find myself clicking the links, visiting their actual websites in their full glory and sometimes, may even find myself checking out an ad too. ;)
anyway, you offer RSS for this site, not much to discuss really. if you dont want to use it yourself, then no reason to argue otherwise!

Welcome. And I agree with your points. I just don't like or want to get my news that way. Others are welcome to.
