Never again, this is pure garbage.
Gary is getting more criticism than I've ever seen in the comments section of that post:

The combination of non-informative/clickbait post titles and truncated RSS/email text is alienating loyal readers much more than either factor could alone.
I always thought that blogs would overtake discussion forums like FT, but practices like this create quite an opportunity to capture or recapture readership.
The one useful aspect of the new BoardingArea layout is the list of recent comments. I go straight to that and ignore everything else. That makes the site work almost like a forum on FT.
