Do you know the orange icon with radar-like waves? Well, that’s a RSS (Really Simple Syndication) subscription icon. When you see that icon, it means there is a feed (A feed is the queue of updates you receive) you can subscribe to.
When you subscribe to a blog, it means you like its content and you want to be notified whenever it has a new blog post.
You can either subscribe to an RSS feed via email or a reader. A reader is a place where you can read the updates of all the blogs you subscribe to. If you subscribe via email, you get updates sent to your email.
When you unsubscribe from a blog, you’ll no longer receive updates from it.
Sometimes, I unsubscribe from some blogs because of these following reasons:
- The blog updates too fast and I couldn’t catch up with all the posts.
- The posts has dropped in quality.
- It suddenly changes to a whole new topic (e.g. From blogging tips to golfing tips).
Why do you unsubscribe from a blog?
So, why do you unsubscribe from a blog? What makes you unsubscribe from a blog? I’m looking forward to hear your views in the comments

I generally unsubcribe if the updates are too frequent as I rarely use a RSS reader mostly i go in for mails (I know I should switch).
Farrhad A’s last blog post..Killing Time? Stay Productive!
Yeah. I also unsubscribe if it updates toooo frequently.
Have you tried ‘labeling’ your subscriptions (If you use Gmail)? They help to organize a certain group of mails.
More information on how to do that is here:

Probably if the author starts drifting into topics other than what they said the blog would focus on. I don’t mind some drift, but sometimes they change completely.
Also, if the writing is poorly edited and overly wordy.

Thanks for the comment.
I don’t mind some drifts too, but changing to a completely different topic bugs me.
Poor writing bugs me too, but if the content is really quality, I won’t unsubscribe.
Because the content doesn’t interest me.
Joel Drapper’s last blog post..EasyWP – Install WordPress in Seconds!
Yeah. Sometimes, when I read a very interesting article from a blog, I subscribe. But if the new content isn’t interest me, I unsubscribe.
Yes, I agree with your reasons. Sometimes when the blog is updated too frequently, my feeds get too clogged up. I think this usually happens for those blogs that have multiple authors.
And also when too many graphics are used. It takes up too much space, even when I have them in labels. Cause the window for the feed is smaller so it gets inconvenient to scroll around.
Lina’s last blog post..What types of maxi dresses do you have?
I agree with you too. I also unsubscribe if the blog posts have too many graphics. They slow down the loading process and even the computer.
I unsubscribe to a blog when I find that the last several posts just aren’t interesting to me.
Maxie’s last blog post..Rain Roses
Yes, I agree. That was the reason why I unsubscribed from a few blogs lately.
I unsubscribe when I don’t find that there is any useful information for me on that blog. or it gets a bit too boring. I still keep those Graphic designers blogs in my google reader and browse through the headers before choosing what to read.
Dominique Goh’s last blog post..WW- Header and Button Designs
Yeah. I subscribe to a few tech blogs, and I browse through them in list form and choose what to read, too
.
Some blogs may get boring sometimes, and run out of useful information. So, we must ask ourselves, “Will my readers benefit from this?” before posting anything.
I tend to unsubscribe if I get too much sales crap through in my inbox or RSS posts.
I also prefer RSS email signup to using a feedreader, but that is just me!
Forest’s last blog post..$5 A Day Adsense Site: Case Study – Part 2
Cool post, Gloson
Personally I don’t subscribe to blogs for one main reason… I hate the look of the email you get. I’d much rather think of a blog I like and actually go to that blog to read it’s content
Simon | Teenius’s last blog post..Blog Design Series: Interview With Gaya Kessler
LOL. I subscribe using a reader because
1. I get updates from the blog and I’m unlikely to miss anything (exciting).
2. I prefer to read all of the updates at once rather than spending time loading websites.
3. It is easier to keep track of the blog updates.
But I don’t like subscribing by email because it clogs up my inbox!
dead blog is my answer , i will unsubscribe if i found rss never update
Earningstep’s last blog post..EziHippo | Make money by social with others | Paid to social program
