I like RSS as a mechanism to keep current with a specific site. But some rare RSS bots scrape all content and everything, sometimes multiple times a day. You can see their traffic in your raw access log. Then ban them with their IP range or the bot user agent name. I had to ban a lot and you should as well.
used RSS feed specific urls so you can track the clickbacks. I am about to remove rss feeds here. Generated very few clicks last month and over 10k bot pulls.
