I guess I am guilty of a lot of the points. I can't help with regards to the ads since I need the money to pay for the hosting and maintenance. I do not have adsense or similar type of ads in the feeds since I personally find them annoying. The ads you see are the affiliate links I've inserted in the actual post.

As for the lengthy posts, it's the way I write because a lot of my posts are reviews and I feel that it can only help to provide as much information on a product as possible.

I don't get too wrapped up about when people unsubscribe since I have to do what I do without being distracted. My main focus has always been to provide information that people will find helpful and interesting. I know that I can't please everyone.

As for the feeds, I have way too many and never seem to catch up with them. In NewsGator, I have over 1600 feeds but I'm starting to filter them out and find those that I really want to read. I can't help it. I just keep adding new ones every day. I'm a feed junkie I guess. Some days, I just mark everything "read" just to get rid of the huge number. ;)

If I don't read my feeds at least once a day, I end up flushing alot of the 30-50 post a day sites.

I have to say that I subscribe to a bunch of tech feeds, some of my favorite (besides any of yours Chris) are Engadget, Engadget Mobile, and Gizmodo. I have found that gizmodo is a lot of the same content as engadget, but there are a ton of posts. Right now there are 234 unread in my Gizmodo folder. To me that is overwhelming and I usually end up simply deleting them all.
