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

When reader was killed off it marked the beginning of clickbait articles and shitty news blogpost.

Before I could simply subscribe to my favorite website RSS feeds. After we had to rely on goddamn algorithms

Check out Feedly - it's not Google Reader, but it's also not terrible either.

I try to self-host a lot of stuff these days, and have become a big fan of FreshRSS. VERY Google Reader-like.

Yeah if I ever lose Feedly, I'll likely have to go the same route
