I totally see this... however I realized as I looked at my RSS feeds, google reader sucks in the whole article, if I really was curious about comments I might go, this is rare. I mean granted you get the second look, now that you subscribed those chances increase. But again, maybe I am totally clueless, but if the reader sucks in the whole article why go to the site. As you said in is world with information overload, why waste my time when I can aggregate all my interests and not go to the site. Here lies my problem, once google puts adsense on their reader , is the blogger getting the cut. Google news shows a snippet of the article, I totally see a synergistic relationship with traffic there, having trouble seeing this for RSS. In this case if google decides to monetize they are really getting away with robbery.
