Description

Expected behavior

I would expect a post with restricted content using a plugin like the Patreon Wordpress plugin will not display the full content in the app's Reader.

Actual behavior

Reported in 4652243-zd-woothemes, the app displays the full content of a post with restricted content in the Reader. However, this doesn't happen on WPiOS.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Open the app and go to Reader
  2. Search for the site address mentioned in the ticket
  3. Notice that the content of the post titled "Nemo Malus Felix" can be viewed in the app
  4. View the post on the browser but was prompted with a notice to unlock the content with Patreon

Research direction

Start with the Android app's Reader flow and reproduce the issue using the post "Nemo Malus Felix" and the site referenced in the support ticket. Compare the Android behavior with WPiOS and verify that restricted Patreon content is not shown in full in Reader; the issue names no files or tests to run.
