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.
The RSS/email issue appears to be mentioned in every post he makes these days (I was just looking at his take on the LH F award space post and noticed the griping).
