Some sites like Feedly and others show the subscriber count in the User-Agent string.

Interesting, didn't know. Will check that!
In my own logs, the ones that show are Feedly, Inoreader, Newsblur, Feedbin, The Old Reader, and a few small/personal ones.

Of course, they only show the subscriber count for their own platform. And then you can also pool together all the separate requests fetching /feed/ and add it all up.
