I think the Verge messed up: the announcement said there would be a full-text RSS feed for subscribers, but they've actually added full article text to the existing feed, where normally I'd only get 2 or 3 paragraphs.
Their sister site Vox made a similar mistake; their RSS feed already had full text, but once they added the paywall I got the full text of articles that were paywalled if I tried to click through to the site. It's like Vox Media doesn't fully understand how its RSS feeds work.
They always had everything as full text but now some articles require going to their website. Or request full text via Readability / Postlight parser in your RSS client of choice.
Well vox is garbage anyway, so no loss.
It’s been really bad ever since Klein, Coaston, and Yglesias departed.
In this case the garbage is behind the pay wall then. Verge is all opinion pieces and cheap content nowadays anyway.
You go right the fuck ahead, Verge. Your content wasn't worth free.
I used to donate to Vox back when it was free. I'm such a sucker.
