>I don't think people who use RSS realize what a small minority they are.

Maybe you don't realise how many they are?

I mean, your very next line admits total ignorance:

>I don't use RSS or Google Reader, I've never even seen it

Thing is, people who have successful technical blogs know that lots of people come from Google Reader.

So even if it's a minority, it's a pretty important minority in the business.
