Plus, the part of the analogy that I’m picturing in my head is the actual reaction, not just crowd size. Like people nodding along people or hating what I’m saying or people not even caring and walking by. You get a little bit of taste of that from other types of social media platforms, which is what obviously makes it so addictive.

Plus, wouldn’t those hits just be the periodic scraping by the feed readers rather than it being a proxy for the number of people actually using those feed readers? I mean, those feeds are gonna get cached on the server side for the cloud services like Feedly, for example.

It’s a close enough rough approximation of whether your posts are attracting an audience or not

The part of the public square analogy that breaks down to me is you can see whether you’re attracting a crowd and what you’re saying is resonating, or if you’re being completely ignored, or something in between where a handful get curious.

Even in that Speaker’s Corner analogy, there’s perhaps an analog. Publishing a public blog is like walking down to Speaker’s Corner, stepping up onto a soapbox, and speaking your mind. Adding a feed file is like that except with a bullhorn. They are materially different with different likely outcomes

It’s important to me to put it out there because I love being a consumer of RSS so much, and I know it’s private by default so I have no comments or interactions or tracking or anything, but that’s also part of what makes it a bit of a feeling like I’m shouting into the void sometimes.

Efficiencies and enabling more automation (which feed files can do, given current consuming code support) IMO absolutely produces a user-relevant material difference

Publishing a public website is in a very real sense like walking down to Speaker's Corner in London and talking on a bullhorn. An RSS feed automates it, but it's not materially different. It's an affirmative publishing act either way. _"Perhaps I am overthinking this"_ muses the author: to which I say, sure, but it's beautiful to be so vulnerable and to think out loud in public.
