That’s a great question! In short, it doesn’t.

If the website has no RSS Feeds, it scrapes the website and gives you the articles (if it can guess what are articles, otherwise, just gives you the link to the website — in this situation it’s more helping you create a habit to only visit that website once per day, and if you tell me which website it is, I can go in and tweak the logic for it).
