It’s CNET’s decision how it displays my content, but I can’t really fault it for this policy. CNET gets paid on page views. No one is going to click through if the feed doesn’t require it. Why would you?

Sometimes we don’t really want the consequences of what we want. In this case, you might find that many of your favorite blogs would go away if they weren’t funded by ads, ads which require a partial feed.
