RSS is not clear to users?

Many people know what RSS is, how convenient it is, etc. However, I recently discovered that a large number of inexperienced users do not at all imagine what it is. Of course, they had heard about it before, but for them RSS floats along with the concepts of XML and SQL.

That is, it is something intended not for users, but for programmers.

I had a conversation on ICQ with such a person. Speech in conversation is about the need to add rss on an amateur site. He is not a web developer, but his level is much higher than the level of an ordinary user.

The main idea - the fear of RSS, incomprehensible principle of its work.

Alternative

Quote: " Bayatsa ... if something a big unknown and ginger, it is better not to press "

Below is a log of my communication with him, which can show the situation as I saw it.

The idea is to create an alternative replacement for the red icon of the subscription to the RSS (or addition to it).

It would be nice to make a large inscription similar to the following: “Would you like to conveniently find out about updates on the site and new articles?” And below 2 buttons - “Yes”, which leads to RSS, and “No”, which does not lead anywhere, but takes into account statistics clicking on it.

Conversation

Now - the conversation itself (spelling preserved):
