How do you tell, technically speaking, that someone is subscribed to your feed? Is it logging requests of the RSS feed url somehow?
Doesnt Feedly, for one, aggregate RSS subscriptions for all of its users? If I were subscribed to your blog through Feedly, would you see me as an individual subscriber, or all of your Feedly subscribers as one subscriber? If so, I imagine this would deflate your numbers.
