Sometime in mid-2015, my old aggregation reader got shut down I had to jump ship over to Flipboard. The most annoying part of this journey has been the total reset of my blacklist of news outlets and topics. Content farming, hat-tipping and "some shit somebody said on Twitter" is just spam delivered differently, and its frustrating that historically respected media has taken so long to think about not only the impact on their value, but how it impacts their core values.
Beyond my recreated blacklists, so much garbage has narrowed my focus and sources. NYTimes, a few RSS feeds, HN for tech. Hopefully, as with books, the culture will begin to correct course.
(Gonna break out my cane and start waving at some kids any moment now)
- corybrown 11y agoI moved over to Flipboard after Google Reader shut down, but it's no replacement. I miss the efficiency of Google Reader, none of the alternatives seem to match up.
- douche 11y agoThe closest thing I've been able to find is The Old Reader (theoldreader.com). Best thing is it was able to import all my old Google Reader subscriptions. Although by now, I think that ship has sailed for other people...
- _rpd 11y agofeedly is fine once you configure it a little.
- cheetos 11y agogoread.io is a Google Reader clone.
- icebraining 11y agoTo pile on, have you checked Tiny Tiny RSS? It's self-hosted, but there are some people offering it as a SaaS, if you prefer to avoid the DIY route.
