Touche...

Pour one out for project Ara, everyone... And the hundreds of other companies that had a bright future before Google bought and destroyed them.

It's a decade later, and I'm still bitter about Google Reader's unceremonious execution.

Gotta be Google Play Music I'm still bitter about. YouTube music doesn't hold a candle to it, and I've never quite been as happy with Spotify or Apple Music. Getting YT Premium with a good music service was great too, but they shot themselves in the foot.

And there's was just... no reason for it. They even delayed its death when they realized how crap YT Music was, and then later just... decided to do it anyways.

I was so upset about it that I almost de-Googled. And I was all-in on the Google ecosystem. In the end I begrudgingly continued on because I didn’t have the time or energy to find replacements for everything.

But yes, I’m still angry over it. I like NewsBlur, it does everything I need, but I still miss Google Reader, and I would go back to it in a second.

SAME. I use Netvibes and Feedly now, but I miss the social aspect - sharing stuff and having friends' feeds.
