My email is jgc@cloudflare.com. I'd like to hear from the owners of RSS readers directly on what they are experiencing. Going to ask team to take a closer look.

Maybe when you detect urls that return the rss mimetype notify the owner of the site/CF account that it might be a good idea to allow bots on that urls.

Ideally you could make it a simple switch in the config, somethin like: "Allow automated access on RSS endpoints".
