Debates on whether you should use them
Web Surfers who subscribes to your Rss Feed basically do not want to have those pesky ads floating around your blog or site, that is why they choose to read it in a application that does not apply primary ads and images to show. By force inserting ads on your feed, you can lose a number of readers if you do not handle the situation properly. On the other hand, you can start to reduce the your ads that are cluttering on your blog and balance them on your Rss feed to encourage web surfers to read your blog daily instead of reading your updated post from their reader application.
