RSS/Atom feed crawling bot for the aggregated reader

[TorontoBoy]

I have been watching Feedspot for a couple of years. While they started out reading my feeds, every once in a while they start scraping my site. I have banned them because of their schizophrenic behaviour.

Huh. Have you seen them just lately? I recognize the name--they used to come chasing RSS feeds, and in fact were one of my first RSS robots--but now that you mention them, I realize I haven't set eyes on them since October 2017.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Edit: Yes, TorontoBoy that’s the exact IP I saw for the 2+ years they were around. I think I was looking it up while you were posting.

You mean since an hour ago when I posted that I saw them?
