- emodendroket 8y agoIn the first place they'd rather you used something other than RSS so they can inject promoted content into it.
- rlac16 8y agoNothing stops promoted content being injected by the feed reader. Feedly does it on their free plans.
- asfasgasg 8y agoGoogle+ only existed in the first place because of the thing that was killing the medium and its one hundred and forty character-limited cousin.
- parrellel 8y agoAs I look at the big list of RSS feeds I found this very thread in, I can't help but imagine that news of it's death is a tad exaggerated.
- asfasgasg 8y agoWell, there's that too, but people complaining about Google's decision r.e. Reader don't like being reminded that there are dozens of alternatives.
