Some article websites (I’m looking at msn.com right now, as an example) show the first page or so of article content and then have a “Continue Reading” button, which you must click to see the rest of the article. This seems so ridiculous, from a UX perspective–I know how to scroll down to continue reading, so why hide the text and make me click a button, then have me scroll? Why has this become a fairly common practice?
How does Google know if you interacted with something on the page?
Chrome. You’re likely using their product. They know everything.
I am not using Chrome.
Well, the majority of people do.
