@Gargron Interesting read.
Personally, I moved to feedly after the shutdown and never looked back.
Curiously, the rss feeds I was subscribed to, at the time I migrated from reader to feedly are about 98% of the feeds I am subscribed today.
Things changed a bit since then, I'm using a mix of feedly, google news, and reddit to stay up to date on my topics of interest across the internet.
Reddit had the biggest gain as a % of my sources of news.
That makes specially mad about what is going on.
