Howdy,

Quite simply, RSS is a win-win-win...

  * Web site producers acquire eyeballs via textual banner ads that
    folks are more than thrilled to host.

  * End-users get one-stop-reading, a centralized location into which
teasers
    from their favorite web sites flow.

  * Sites hosting these RSS items, of course, acquire pseudo-content for
free.

This is as true for traditional media outlets as an individual with a
Weblog.  It's a t-shirt giveaway that costs practically nil.
