Why it works
A feed post is truncated behind a link, wherever that link falls.
A reader who stops at the cut should still have a complete thought.
Half a thought and a link is a reason to scroll, not to press.
- Use it when
- Every post, and especially one opening with a long sentence.
- Skip it when
- Your post is short enough to show whole. Then there is no cut.
- What to watch
- Whether your first sentence finishes before the cut at its tightest.
- What it costs you
- Short openings commit early, and an early commitment can be wrong.
