i donno man. i still use rss, and they solved tracking by not putting the article in the xml, just a link that ends in source rss.

Or putting a weird (and illegal) consent dialogue the reader can't crawl. Golem.de does that, one of the biggest german tech newspapers.

Isn't that a legitimate use-case for RSS (specifically Atom) though? My blog's feed just points to the plain-HTML pages with the post. It seems wasteful to put my entire site in a single, polled file.
