Probably 2/3 of the RSS feeds I use come directly from the content producers, not from third party systems.

I meant people's RSS readers as the 3rd party, vs the 1st party website hosted by the producer. Not the clearest way to say it, I admit.

Ah, I understand. RSS is often used for things that aren't connected to a website at all, so I don't automatically make that connection.
