Tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of the end of Google Reader. So I tried to figure out what went wrong, and wound up with a story about a better social internet we could have had and instead threw into the trash https://www.theverge.com/23778253/google-reader-death-2013-rss-social
Who killed Google Reader?

Google killed Reader in 2013, shutting down its RSS reader after years of neglect. Now, the team that built it reflects on what they made and how the web has changed in the decade since.

@davidpierce Reader is where I spent my lunch breaks, getting caught up on the 3-4 blogs I followed at the time. I still go back and read those blogs, but not as loyally. It's nice to see one of them still follows the same format that I enjoyed in the early 2010s.
@weisinator @davidpierce I recently went back and 90% of the blogs I followed just don't exist anymore 😢
