I guess i've been frequenting the wrong parts of the internet because read more usually loads a new page

I feel like most of the time you see a "read more" or similar button at the end of a partial bit of text it expands out on the current page. I know that the thing at the top of Google searches has a button that functions like this, sometimes on information ''aggregated'' with vaguely traditional methods, but usually their dumb AI overview thing. the second of which is notable for also having an almost identical gradient on the text.

some other examples are longer youtube comments, tweets, and similar.

    I second this. I haven't personally seen cases where "read more" with obstructed text leads to a new page instead of expanding it, it may be more common on other places like news sites or the like (I don't really frequent those). But yeah, when I clicked that button on e6, I expected the text to be revealed in full just like how it works on YouTube.

    I guess what could potentially solve this issue is by making "read more" more obvious as a link and and not covering the text like it can be revealed, maybe by cutting it off with ellipsis instead.
