Windows Central Question

I've been subscribing to Windows Central for years through RSS feeds. First on Google Reader and then on Feedly. In recent months though the amount of SPAM being posted to the feed became unbearable. Just look at the last 25 postings (with my categorization SPAM/NEWS):

15 out of 25 is SPAM. That's 60%!

Is there a paid subscription one can get? Or some other trick to filter the SPAM out?
