Hi Jeff! I don't subscribe for the simple reason that your posts are hit-or-miss for me—I am only interested in perhaps 20% of what you write about (for example, I am uninterested in society and sociology, actively disinterested in Christianity and any insights gleaned from it, etc.). Because of that signal-to-noise ratio, I consider it more efficient to check in periodically and see if there's content I'm interested in, rather than be pushed content that I probably won't be interested in. That is to say, psychologically, I prefer to find a surprise every so often than to have to filter things I don't want!

And that's not to say you should cater to my interests: it's important to me that everyone does their own weird thing. But because my weird thing is, you know, weird, I tend not to subscribe to very much. :)
