With all due respect, I'm not sure the definition/description of the nature of RSS provided in this article is all that accurate. RSS is largely designed to provide summary information on material such as blog postings, not full-text content (at least not in the description node). It might be described as a kind of super-bookmarking, that enables readers to quickly decide if a particular link is worth following. (Atom is quite different, of course, in that it provides for the full re-publishing of site content.)

In that context, the wider distribution it receives, the better, as this will result in more people viewing the full-text web page. This purpose is somewhat hinted at in the most common expansion of the acronym into "Really Simple Syndication".

If what the author is doing is publishing full-text content via RSS, the best remedy is likely to stop doing that, and instead supply a summary. If there is a need to publish the full content, in any case, this is really supposed to go into an RSS mod_content module (http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/).
