I really dislike how some RSSs dont show anything.

This is the worst, the biggest culprit for me is probably Rooster Teeth Podcast. Because there is no text or download link at all.

I hate to say it, but they do that on purpose. They make money by showing ads in the site, so the point of the RSS entries is "hey, we have something new on the site for you to see".

Exactly, the more hits on their website the better. I mean what good is a news website if everyone is reading their content from somewhere else. There are however some feeds that is structured well and gives you everything you need. GWJ Conference call, VG247 and PC Gamer immediately springs to mind.
