What the fuck.
Later edit: Like many other will most likely do in their replies I'm also going to suggest an alternative that I've tried in the past.
http://theoldreader.com/ http://theoldreader.com/
Later edit 2: They even added a nice pop-up now. https://s3.amazonaws.com/i.imm.io/Zg6A.png https://s3.amazonaws.com/i.imm.io/Zg6A.png
- SpoonMeiser 14y agotheoldreader.com looks like a good alternative
- drivebyacct2 14y agoOuch, what font rendering is that?
- vacipr 14y agoCustomized freetype for excessive eye bleeding.
- notdang 14y agocan I register to theoldreader if I don't have a facebook/google account?
- vacipr 14y agoNo.But you should already have a google account since you used google reader I suppose.
- notdang 14y agoI have, but I don't feel comfortable with this: "The Old Reader is requesting permission to: View and manage your Google Contacts"
- vacipr 14y agoThere should be more info about this here but the page is currently down. https://theoldreader/pages/privacy https://theoldreader/pages/privacy
- FaddiCat 14y agoThe Old Reader actually looks really good. If only it had an Android app...
- tracker1 14y agoWell.. was going to sign in with my google account, but they seem to want "manage my contacts" permission.
- sordidfellow 14y agoIndeed - I stopped short for exactly the same reason. Can't imagine why I'd want a reader app to mess with my contacts in any way.

- lake99 14y agoI hate that too. When I get some free time, I'll create a new gmail account, import my Reader feeds to that, and sign in to theoldreader using the new gmail account. I suppose this will solve the problem, but it would be best if the good people at theoldreader fix it themselves.
- fakeer 14y agoThat's where I stopped and shall not try it ever if they don't remove and no, I am not going to create a new a/c for that. I mean it's totally for spamming purposes - either to me or my contacts. By the way, interface looks cleaner, I wish so were the intentions :-)
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- jap 14y agoCould be an oversight. I think "manage my contacts" is a default permission requested when not explicitely setting the scope in OAuth...
- Zecc 14y agoThat they would make such an oversight makes me even more uneasy with giving them access to my data.
- Grue3 14y agoSo I added a feed to theoldreader, and it shows as last updated: 14 hours ago, even though there's been posts since then. Google Reader has already picked them up. The Old Reader sure lives up to its name of delivering me old news... Other alternatives I tried are also disappointing. July 1 will be a terrible day for the Internet.
- przemoc 14y agohttps://www.google.com/takeout/#custom:reader https://www.google.com/takeout/#custom:reader http://theoldreader.com/feeds/import http://theoldreader.com/feeds/import "Thank you for uploading your OPML file. We will soon start importing your subscriptions, which might take up to several hours depending on the amount of feeds you have. There are 22325 users in the import queue ahead of you." It may take some time indeed... I have 114 subscriptions and some of them can be dead now, as I haven't used GR for quite some time.
