What is a token and why does it matter that each subscriber has their own?
A token is the unique identifier embedded in each subscriber’s private feed URL. Because each subscriber has a different URL, you can:
- Track exactly who is accessing their feed and when
- Revoke a specific subscriber’s access without affecting anyone else
- Reset a compromised URL for one subscriber without changing feeds for everyone
- See which subscribers haven’t polled their feed recently
On competing platforms (including Patreon), there is no per-subscriber feed URL — tokens don’t exist, and this level of individual control isn’t possible.
