They also have a free tier for the hosted version that is pretty generous (64 sites). I used the free hosted version for years after Reader went away and only upgraded as a way to support software that I use and enjoy regularly.

There's a group of people who have reinvented religion because they're afraid of an AI torturing them for eternity if they don't work on AI hard enough. It's very silly but there are many people who actually believe this
