This is purely anecdote, but outside blogs read because they are posted here, reddit, or on twitter my blog reading dropped through the floor after Reader died. I tried one of the alternatives that allowed importing reader feeds (Feedly maybe?) but for some reason it did not stick for me and I fell away from the habit.

I wonder if this helped prop up mailing lists as an alternative which in some ways is better than blogs (gives you information on how to contact your regular readers) but also if it is literally ONLY email kills discoverability of old content.
