Feeds stand to make more from advertising if they have a strong base of active readers, and full text is a prerequisite for that to happen. But their feeds are anemic anyway, containing only links.

I have had a few feeds, where a day later, and I have 10 duplicates of the same entry, with the only difference being the ad content at the bottom!" Pheedo agrees completely. In fact that's one of the reasons we're in this business. When we started over a year ago, we determined that ads in feeds were inevitable and we were concerned that people doing ads wrong could significantly harm RSS adoption. So Pheedo is working hard to do things the right way instead. An ad isn't the focus of the feed, so we're not going to treat is as such. We won't cause your feed items to continually refresh just so we can insert new advertising. “The biggest annoyance is when feeds are not setup correctly.
