In WordPress (the blogging software I use), it’s fairly easy to find and install plugins that suggest “related content” to readers after they finish a post. It’s pretty common in other blogging software, too.
The point is, though, that “related content” refers to other blog posts that are about similar topics.
Anything that is part of telling your story but is not text (so, videos, pictures, audio clips) is not “related content.” It’s part of your article. Would you print your front page without the photos?
Getting something rough up quickly and following up with more information is one thing, but thinking you’re done when you’re not is something else.
