This. Not every article from who-n-who's blog is going to be posted on HN, or hit the front page of Reddit, or be shared on Facebook. 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.
