For me, Google shutting down Reader was a huge wake-up call that I should be paying for the things that I depend on as much as I did GReader. I signed up & paid for both pinboard and newsblur within a week of the announcement, and purposely avoided theoldreader and others that didn't have any sort of sustainable business model (although there were/are plenty of other solid projects out there). Glad I didn't have to learn that lesson twice.
