For a number of people (non-technical included), the follwing/sharing component of Reader was an excellent source of interesting, high quality links up until the end. Facebook and Twitter have since replaced that I guess, but they are both terrible at it. Ostensibly Google thought some of that economy would shift to Plus, but maybe they didn't even care. Newsblur/The Old Reader have built in this feature, but I have maybe 2-3 friends on each service and it's just not vibrant. Maybe the sharing aspect of Reader would have withered and died anyway, but I miss it dearly.
