Solid advice for sure, and ignorance is bliss but damn does this nuddle of mine (brain) make it difficult at times; "no logs for an httpd? you cray-cray-crazy? what if something happens!?"

Perhaps I need some further self-reflection, because I fear that with no logs I would assume the worse and end up in the same boat. Though.. maybe it is time to grow up? No idea, weirdly enough this problem is one of the hardest I have ever faced

The TLDR is that I back in 2015 published some C++ related posts that got way more traction than I originally anticipated, and given the subscriptions to the RSS-feed I felt like I could not live up to the contents people perhaps expected.

On the other hand, I have no idea what people _actually_ expected to be published, but in my head I have for what it's worth created this nightmare scenario where I post something not related to C++, and all those readers would be /pinged and disappointed.

Impressions and clicks are a confident booster, though the fear of disappointing or letting people down because they expect "better" content is something I for sure struggle with

For me it boils down to the fact that rss-feeds propagate without any knowledge or control. One left-over subscription somewhere can ping so far, whereas a manually copied link (like if someone reads an article and decide to share it) at least is an isolated event.

It is not the author of the RSS who "disturbs" sleeping agents, it is simply the one who actually forwarded the message. If that makes sense?
