You realize CL doesn't have ads in the first place right? It makes no difference to them, revenue-wise, whether I read their content in a web browser or in an RSS feed -- if anything, I'm saving them bandwidth. They make money by charging for making posts in certain categories in certain locations.

Traditional ads aren't the only form of revenue. All I'm saying is that by bypassing the site completely people maybe aren't helping them survive, which could just be what the market decides and we need a craigslist full of ads, wikipedia too.
