Who killed Google Reader?
Who killed Google Reader?
Google Reader was supposed to be much more than a tool for nerds. But it never got the chance.

Google didn't just kill Reader that day, they killed my relationship with Google.
There have been plenty of services I used at Google that they killed however Reader was the one that didn't have any good alternative. It was the one that hurt the most, and I don't think I have signed up for a single Google service since the day Reader was killed.
What do you use for RSS feeds now?
I'm not OP, but after Reader I moved to Feedly. I still have that account, although it's rarely used nowadays.
It doesn't have the social elements (which I did use with a group of friends), but it's good at the core feed-manager experience.
Feedly is the closest thing to Google Reader that I've found.
Nice, I use Inoreader. And openrss.org and rss.app for websites that dont have RSS feeds.
I've been able to get pretty much everything I want to follow on the internet in my RSS reader. I even subscribe to Lemmy communities in my RSS reader instead of on Lemmy directly 😆
