    Hey Muchochiz,

    Benefits could be that people can get it anywhere using an RSS feeder either on a laptop or on a mobile device. However this would have downsides as most RSS feeds take all content so they could be there for a long time scrolling through everything.

    Forum Feed Many forums now have add-ons that allow participants to receive forum posts via RSS. The RSS feeds often will show the latest discussion topics; if users are interested they simply click to enter the forum to participate in the discussion. As the topic is updated they will see new entries in the RSS feed.

    It will notify people for your website update if the user bookmarked it. So finally you get a lot of traffic.

    This is probably the greatest benefit :)
