If you think of the problem with the shuttering of Reader being about structure and centralized authority rather than the tech, the objection becomes that Google was trusted by an ecosystem of freely-shared information as stewards of a centralizing resource, and then abandoned that responsibility and ultimately destroyed that provider ecosystem by chasing closed-model capture-profiteering
In that light, what Google did to blogs/rss with Reader is what they’re now doing to the web with search.

@mhoye By this standard Google did RSS a favor by shuttering Reader when they did

@kevinriggle @mhoye Also it did a bad favor in retrospect that opened the door for social media sites such as the deadbirdsite and Meta/FB becoming the de-facto main source to get news, blogs, and read articles so it's a double standard.
It should have been RSS still and I use it. Just not enough people do now a days.
