RSS doesn’t keep me from being thoughtful…it helps me be more thoughtful. It’s not about being more efficient at reading, but about being more efficient finding the things that resonate with me, the places to direct my attention. I don’t see how missing more of those opportunities in order to experience the design choices made in their presentation is better. It is a rare site whose design is elevated to the point that it is in itself interesting (if anything, most sites design choices make the reading physically more difficult). Sort of like books: I appreciate a high-end, lavish production, but those are rare, and a modestly designed book may be physically uninteresting but ultimately provides an equal reading experience.
