While Reader still shares a place in my heart along with Firefly, I do wonder if it would have died an ecosystem death anyway? Blogging was on the decline, perhaps they sped it up but I don't think it would have held back the tide. The media consumption landscape is too supercharged with quick hit fast-food to support long form profitably. Can blogs be run non-profitably? Of course, but either the author is time/money rich, or they'll try and hop the influencer train. Blogging for blogs sake seems to be destined for niche-ness.
