Google killed Google Reader, which killed RSS. I don't understand the argument of it not being a money-maker, since the publisher of the feed controls the content. In most cases they would just publish an excerpt or even just the title, which forces you to read the article on their website anyway.

> I don't understand the argument of it not being a money-maker Right? Gathering RSS users together in one place and being able to see what they like based on their feeds, advertise in and around the content freely based on those inferences. If it wasn't a money maker, that's surely more Google's fault than a requirement. Hell, this is a service that people pay for too now. Google really dropped the ball.
