RSS feeds you don't have to click on

May 6, 2017 3:26 AM

I'm looking for interesting RSS feeds that you don't have to expand to read the rest of the article. Most I've seen are headlines or summaries that you need to click on to follow up. Do you know any where the while content is in the bit of RSS that will be seen in the feed? Any topics considered!

My reader fetches the entire article. (Newsblur)

There are lots... Do you have any topics in mind? On the first page of my Feedly, there's Vox, Sociological Images, Streetsblog.net, The Billfold, Stonekettle Station...

Inoreader can, as an option, display the entire article (or at least the portion above the fold, on some sites).

Summary vs. full article in the feed is something the publisher controls. You might check the source sites to see if they offer both feeds, but many sites trying to make a living with advertising are going to force you back to the site to read the article, because they want the page views for ad income purposes.

Techdirt.com provides full story feeds (https://www.techdirt.com/techdirt_rss.xml)

I get full stories in the rss summary from "The Atlantic" magazine. Here's the url that I have been using:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheAtlantic

It might be feedburner that's giving me the full text in rss feed.
