Threat intel and Cybersecurity research firms: if you're not providing RSS feeds to your blog, you're hurting your brand.

Whatever traffic you think you're driving to the site by preventing analysts from ingesting feeds is outweighed by the reputational damage of not providing a service we expect and rely on.

And if your reason is because it's hard behind Cloudflare, well, you're telling on yourself twice.

@mttaggart RSS is hard behind Cloudflare? Yet another reason to stay away from those cunts.
@elricofmelnibone Basically if you're turning on anti-bot protections, you kill RSS feed collectors.

@mttaggart But why? Rate limiting is a thing that exists, they could easily apply that to RSS feeds instead of the wholesale bot "protection" garbage they've got going on.

Yay centralisation. Sigh.
