Maybe it means that many readers don't want to read every article that TC puts out, so don't subscribe to the RSS. When there's an interesting article forwarded from a friend, they go and read it.
Personally I love Reader. I use it for high signal-to-noise writers only, where I want to read (or be aware of) almost everything they write. I regularly remove blogs who feel they need to put something out every hour, just because.

Somebody does actually have to subscribe to blogs they like and read it, somewhere. It can't be aggregation all the way down. RSS is probably too complicated for normal people (being named something as pointless and confusing as "Real Simple Syndication" doesn't help). I can see how some people might be able to get by, but when I'm one of maybe 100 people subscribed to a blog, I'm not going to see it drift by on FB.
