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?
Ahhh, I think you might be an edge case. The users we tested this on all understood what was going to happen after.
I’m part of your edge case too.
I’ve also assumed the same. There’s no way it’s a rare enough edge case not to be impactful
