That's a bit silly IMO. If you've removed the way that those viewers like to view your content, even if they like you, they might not find a suitable replacement in their eyes to the tool they previously used. I have over 200 feeds in my RSS reader that I "consume". If that reader went away (which it is), then I'd probably pay attention to 10ish. Does that mean that I only "care" about those 10? Of course not. I like to monitor the others for headlines or keywords. Just because I don't read every one every day does not mean I don't care. And, when my reader goes away, I won't be back all b/c the medium I use will have changed.
- nekgrim 14y agoIt depends. If you use GReader to read 10 RSS, you can move to FB/Twitter/Mail newsletter. If, like you or me, use GReader to read 200 feeds, you will find an alternative that suits your needs. Or code it, be it a full RSS parser, or just a greasemonkey addon to change feedly appearance. Because you care about reading your news, one way or another. Edit: one thing is special in this case: GReader users are more "power users" than usual. So we are not talking about TMZ site going down. That's why I think that people who really care will try to find an alternative.
- zanny 14y agoI suspect any real competitor in the rss space will provide an instant import via the zip of bookmarks / feeds / etc soon anyway. I'm just worried about an Android app that can fill Readers roll. I use it for reading webcomics since I can swipe left or right to move through my subscriptions, which is much more efficient than any other means to browse them on mobile.
