Blame the website, not rss

Why does it matter whose to blame?

The site configures what shows up in the RSS or ATOM feed. It's not a feature or a flaw in RSS or ATOM inherently.

In other words, complain to whomever runs the site in question.

Once again, I ask "why does it matter?". You can blame whoever you want, but the end result is the same.

I didn't mean RSS as a concept sucks, I mean the modern implementation and user experience of RSS sucks, because companies DONT WANT YOU to be able access things this way.

@drwho yep, that is correct. I also have feeds in all my readers that are displayed completely, while others are just back links to the article in question.
