First I felt anger about the coming closure.

Then I went thru and tried all the competitors, new and old.

Quickly a few rose over what GR ever was and of them I settled with Inoreader - been a happy, paying customer ever since.

GR was holding down the evolution of feed readers by keeping theirs free. That was what, 5 million users not paying anybody for the service? When it was gone, things started moving forward again, fast. So actually, it's good that they closed GR.
