The Verge goes deep on who killed Google Reader, ten years after its demise. I’ve always been furious about this, and somehow, reading this made me even angrier. 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.

@andybaio @shellen joined us at Pinterest some time after Reader died and I still don't understand why the hell we didn't recreate it there. We had the tools, we had the talent ... and we just didn't do it.

@kentbrew @andybaio oh man. I kinda tried. Pinterest wasn’t interested.
