The main impediment I have had are magazines I subscribe to who are behind paywalls. Ars Technica and Talking Points Memo have a subscriber feed, but it's basically just an honor system thing for you to not go sharing it but they're the only ones. I'd honestly be okay if they just gave you a stub and had you click through, but they seem resistant to doing even that.
- SecurityLagoon 6y agoIt's pretty basic to implement some kind of token scheme for the feed to bypass the paywall. It happens all the time for paid podcast feeds. If you see large numbers of geographically dispersed feeds you can then look up who shared their key and have a word... Skeptically I belive most sites just don't want to supply RSS/atom feeds as it bypasses their ability to track and advertise to you and having something like needing to deal with auth is a convenient excuse.
