The full-feed RSS debate hots up

From Desirable Roasted Coffee:

Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome comes down hard on full-text RSS feeds, ostensibly because ... well, it's never apparent why he doesn't like them. Just that he's not going to have them anymore.

I'd bet, though, it's because he'd like to drive his site ad revenues up.

B. L Ochman comes down with four feet against full feeds. Why? It helps click-through on ads.

Also read Constantin Basturea on "Why I'm asking for full-text RSS feeds?".

UPDATE: I've switched back to full feeds

Scoble recently said he prefers full feeds (without ads being his favorite): http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/05/18.html#a10147

So do I: http://hyku.com/blog/archives/000547.html

I always add an RSS feed to my news reader with the intention of reading the content. You hear that blog author? I am saying to you, "I feel your content is valuable, so I am subscribing to your feed" But my time is valuable as well. By not publishing a full feed you are not providing me what I want, the content.
