What makes me MAD is that for some of those guys out there the RSS had died since the death of Google Reader. Instead a great number of – better – services sprung and was made available. Both paid and free.
I, for example, am using the free tier of Feedly … always smashing my head to the wall for not having been wise enough to take a lifetime pro account, and may times asking myself if I should support them with a paid account.
RSS is still doing well, it's us – users – which are becoming accustomed to the ease of a curated "news feed" and struggle with information overload / selection. Don't you think so too?
I embraced Google Reader early on. And when Google took it away, I felt betrayed. But, you are correct, the services that sprung up post mortem were even better. I’m using Feedbin.
