Yep. My aspirations about how the internet was going to enable a brighter, better future for people, were instantly transformed, and instead we saw the power of tech corporations acting in their own interests. How naive I was.
Google shutting down Reader did encourage me to learn to host my own services though, which I am pretty thankful for.
be proud of your own imitative, not thankful for the boot to the ass.
Google did nothing to help you , but your response to the dire situation is to be commended.

There are decent alternatives. Personally I use newsblur, and I like having a feed that contains only sources I've chosen.
