>the bulk of my traffic now comes from RSS readers.

I don't think this is correct unless you mean strictly the number of HTTP requests to your web server.

You were the 9th most popular blogger on HN in 2025.[0] Your post says you have about 500 readers via RSS. How can that represent more readers than people who read your posts through HN? I'd guess HN brought you about 1M visitors in 2025 based on the number of your front page posts.
