Honest question: why do people pay for "pro" RSS services? There are enough out there that I don't feel I would ever need to - I was using oldreader until they shut it down to everyone and now use digg reader - is there specific functionality I'm missing out on by not using these premium services? There's always the whole adage of if it's free then you could lose it, but with the amount of readers out there it seems like I could hop to and from services.
Because it would be nice to not have to constantly hop to and from services as they die from lack of resources?
Because it would be nice to not have to periodically have to re-learn everything as the app you're familiar with dies and you have to switch to an unfamiliar one?

Because good software is worth something?
