This is the reason I prefer that my readers subscribe to my opt-in weekly email newsletter rather than using Google Reader/RSS. They get a quick little digest of the top content from the previous week and click through if it looks interesting.

RSS is still available though, but the email channel is clearly the winner in terms of people using and interacting with it.
