Dude!!
I was just going to start one saying "WHO CARES ABOUT RSS SUBSCRIBERS".
The way things are going with all these contests..... I don't trust 90% of people's count. Sure 5000 people signed up to win the $500 you are giving away. This does NOT mean they read. Also from another thread seeing people with 100+ feeds in their reader. AS IF they are reading a 1/10th of them.
Personally I think it's over rated. It's a GOOD metric because one of the ONLY ones like Alexa to gauge the success of a blog. Also check lot's of people just put an image because it "matters so much".
If people want to subscribe go for it. Like look at me... I read TONES of blogs but typically never subscribe...
