I suppose you're right, but as I explained in the post, I am not some big company, I'm just a person who occasionally likes to post stuff on the internet. I'm a huge fan of various blogs, and want to be a part of that space. It is so nice to browse a proper hobbyist blog that isn't loaded up with attempts to sell me things, and is just someone who is genuinely passionate about whatever it is they're blogging about.

I personally am not a user of RSS, however I received multiple requests to add a feed, so I did. I don't want to set up a staging environment for my blog, this is a hobbyist thing I do in my limited spare time.

The whole reason I wrote this was to hopefully prevent people like me from making this same mistake. I wasn't particularly familiar with RSS and its idiosyncrasies, and paid the price for it. By providing my content in a format I myself have very little interest in without fully understanding the ramifications, my content has become available on a third party service that I have no control over, and when readers discover that my feed doesn't look right, they come to me to complain about it. It might just be a fundamental disagreement, but I do wonder if tools like Feedly should provide a little more control either to publishers, or to users.

I'm just rambling at this point, but hopefully this illustrates my thinking behind the post better.
