What is with the current trend of hiding the content of the webpage that you have gone to visit under a 'continue reading' button on mobile?

For example, Huffington post article. Content all loads, then dissapears behind 'continue reading' button, showing only the first sentence.

I came here to read the article. I'm sure I want to continue reading..
Who the hell thought this was good design???

    It forces you to load and see the ads on the bottom of the article. It also provides them with metrics: who reads more than just the title of the article.

    @apisarenco Sure, it might force some people to see the ads, for me, they certainly dont get that revenue from me for pulling this shit.

    The same for articles with multiple pages: you see the ads several times.
