...But I don't want to read blogs in my feed reader. I always click the permalink to read the post at its original source. What's the purpose of forcing me to endure my reader's inferior UX?
You could try reading this site in a different feed reader that does polish its UX?
Well, it's not really about the UX. My purpose for using a feed aggregator is to keep up with blogs that I want to read, not to replace the sites on which I read them.
