We even saw it with RSS. Everyone using RSS was lamenting Google Reader going away. Isn't the client supposed to be the most easily replaceable part of RSS?

It's weird that people still lament Google Reader going away.

We've had RSS for about 27 years.

Google Reader was around for less than 8 of those years, and it has now been 13 years since it died.

Normies dont think in protocols, they think in apps.

    Websites said "follow our RSS feed," not "follow on Google Reader." Then again maybe normies never used RSS.
