This is a reoccurring trend with Feedly (taking advantage of content creators while making money off of their content)
Unlike most RSS readers, Feedly refuses to share how many readers a content creator has via their user-agent (the standard method for doing this). When I asked them about this, they simply said to wait for analytics in 2014. https://twitter.com/feedly/status/408797947053101058
Are you going to make me pay for that too Feedly?
I really like their product but can't stand their policies. Why piss off the very same people who are feeding your product?
If you do a search for your feed you will see the number of readers.
Right now the API is limited to developers building user facing apps. Offering a long term API to other kinds of developers is not a commitment we are ready to make.
The analytics we mentioned in that tweet will be free.
What's the issue with using the same user-agent method that's a standard with other feed-readers? Seems like you're doing extra work so that blog authors can also do extra work.
