Why does blogdown keep rebuilding RMarkdown files?

I have a github pages website that has a blog that I update with blogdown. Everything works fine, I like blogdown a lot, but every time I use build_site() it re-builds .Rmd files that should not (at least to my understanding) be built again, given that I haven't changed anything in those files. This is not ideal, because sometimes things change (like tables I've scraped from the web) and I have to re-write the whole post again. Has anybody experienced anything similar? What's the solution?

You did not follow the recommended workflow. You do not have to, but then you will have to read the documentation more carefully to understand what blogdown::build_site() actually does. The same question has been asked on Github.
