- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoYeah, my impression at the time was that programmers and tech-related media turned against Google basically overnight when Reader was killed. I think the importance of Reader wasn’t “everybody used it” but “the people in a position to influence the public perception of Google used it”.
- ukuuru 4y agoI believe it is about the audience, they are very casual about killing products. The users of the Reader was people with interest and influence in technology. Killing a product that is utilized by the people with the higher influence created no good.
