I request all bloggers to include RSS so that those of us who have ditched twitter and other social media could find you again.
I’m genuinely asking because to me, who cares if someone steals my content. They can steal it anyway, people will scrap your site if they need.
But I want the user experience for the users to be the best possible.
In fact my feed has full content and based on the differences in HTML in my feed and the direct page it seems like most often they scrape the page anyways.
Monetizable traffic. People mirror sites wholesale, throw monetization on it and apply blackhat techniques to ensure they outrank origin site.
What is the compelling advantage of this?
I have a blog (such as it is), hand-rolled HTML and RSS. What benefit would I potentially get from the extra work of duplicating the content, rather than the date and headline?
But that’s an exception. Many, many sites out there run on a cms and require no extra effort to serve full content in the RSS feed.
Fixed!
