Interesting to find out that feeds with content that change
dynamically (advertising in this case), are pushing the same items to
the subscriber every time the feed is pulled and parsed.

Here's an example:

http://feeds.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/football/rss

Using my own instance ( https://pubsubhubbub2.appspot.com/ ) which is
setup to pull non-push-enabled feeds, I got 9MB of data from this
feed, today.

What's interesting is that they (the guardian) put the ads in the item-
>description tag, where the relevant content is also placed.

How complex would be a solution for enhancing the app to filter out
these duplicate items.
