You could try to beat that though by releasing rss feeds based on category as well but it wouldn't be the most ideal solution since you might be risking to lose some potential readers for the other material again on the other hand. For me it's also one of the major reasons why I don't use RSS though, blogs write about such a great variety of categories that around 80% of the average blog couldn't interest me at all even though I like some other entries. I'm not interested in seeing 8 titles coming by which I wouldn't enjoy reading anyways simply to get 2 titles which I would enjoy.

You aren't going to please everyone. The goal, I would imagine, would be to maintain and grow a number and not lose more than you are gaining. It's like radio station ratings numbers. They will rise and fall, but as long as the long term trend is upward, than all is good. This makes sense. You aren’t going to please everyone.
