Well, yeah, who wants to sit and dick around with filters? I just want to know when "Part 3" is posted or whatever. I don't want to "subscribe" I don't need a feed of every thing they've ever written being filtered, just go fetch "is part 3 up yet".
I could sign up for e-mails too and just use mailbox filters. I bet something for "lazy" people who have better things to do than sit and dick around with their mailbox filters is a promising concept.
"wow part 2 was good, can't wait for part 3!" clicks Let Me Know.
vs
"Wow part 2 was good, let me subscribe to the RSS feed and go somewhere else and figure out a filter for part 3"
If I gotta go somewhere else, switch apps, whatever, I'm not interested, and it's not gonna happen. My brain has already moved on.

RSS for lazy people who can’t bother filtering their RSS reader is probably a very promising concept.

I agree, your brain has already moved on.
"Practice makes perfect" was such a silly idea, after all.
