I'm still bitter about Google Reader going away. I endorse this sentiment.

  Me too, but there were some replacements that made me happy because they fixed some irk with google's version. (I think I used Commafeed?) I eventually got away from subscribing to like 50 webcomics (all I used RSS for... most other stuff was too high-volume, and I liked reading everything in my feed, iirc) though and stopped using an RSS feed altogether.

  What prevents you from using RSS now? Outsourcing your RSS feed to a megacorp sounds like a horrible idea.

    Who do you outsource yours to, or do you read with curl?

      I use NetNewsWire. It’s free, open-source, and explicitly says not to send money. > First thing: don’t send money. This app is written for love, not money. :) https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire/blob/main/Technotes/HowToSupportNetNewsWire.markdown https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire/blob/main/T...

      There have been many RSS aggregators since before Google Reader existed, most of them local

    Nothing, and in fact I still do. I prefer the Reeder (classic) app https://reederapp.com/classic/ https://reederapp.com/classic/ But two things can be true at the same time. I'm still bitter about Google removing a great webapp from the internet so unceremoniously.
