    Not surprised to see Reeder in there. It’s a great app for Apple users. But that app can bring a website to its knees with how aggressive it is. I can see in my logs that it constantly makes over ~20 requests to different RSS feeds on my domain, all in the exact same millisecond. Happens multiple times a day. And it appears to rotate IPs. Scary… Tried reaching out to the developer about it twice, but they never responded.
