Why do some non-paywalled webpages have a READ MORE button I have to click on before it reveals the rest of the article?

    Yep it definitely could but people might scroll without reading the article, maybe they think there’s another article underneath or maybe they’re just scrolling to see how long it is. Clicking read more gives a less noisy signal I would think.
