Another counterintuitive perspective is this:

Sticky blindness is a scrolling behavior. Currently, users get used to scrolling past the full-size stickies.

By collapsing already-browsed sticky posts, regular users should get used to not scrolling as far over time. This will interrupt the next ingrained scrolling behavior when stickies are updated, which should amount to a greater emphasis to the casual browser compared to the present.

An analogy for this is when a store puts “sale” tags on all items all the time, then the retail shopper loses interest in items that are actually marked down on a sale.
