Interesting. These days I was trying to subscribe to some blogs, and they didn’t have a RSS button in their page, so I had to inspect the page to find out the feed URL. Not sure why keep a RSS feed but hide from the visitors. It could be it expected the feed reader to be able to identify it, but since I was using Thunderbird it did not.

Most feed readers find at least feeds that are linked with a link tag in the header, if it's <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" ... />

Probably they're expecting people to just paste the website URL in the feed reader and them identifying it. But it would be nice to see the RSS URL linked somewhere.

Some of these cases are sites that are built on a CMS that exposes RSS by default, but people don’t consider showing a link/button/whatever in their design.
