For some weird reason, after Google Reader shut down, I tried several RSS readers, including OldReader, the AOL one (I think) and Digg Reader. As I used to visit Digg quite often (it's not the crowdsourcing site anymore, but an editorial-based one) because of its content, I stuck with it. It started ok—what you would expect from a feed reader. It was clean, it updated quite often, it was good. But three or so years ago, it started to look stale. No new features, and worse: the count read was wrong, and often it would mark your items as read. It was clunky and unreliable, late last year I moved to feedly and haven't look back. The lesson here is that maybe there's no model for a free hosted RSS reader. Google found out, and then some others. And that's not good for an open web.
