Getting feeds into email means I have the local content available for searching, and am not tied to desktop/mobile, or a particular machine.
(Rewritten in go, primarily because the standard r2e was the last daemon/program on my host that required python. So switching let me drop a whole bunch of dependencies.)
That's a good point. Hadn't considered that. Definitely have had moments where I couldn't find an article later with Google.
And many more:
Its cross platform and has an excellent Android app that I use. Has some nifty AI. text filtering capabilities that help to sort articles. It does both river of news and email inbox style rss display. Fast support as well and fairly active development that you can track on their repo
After Google Reader shut down I tried a lot of different services and Newsblur felt to me the most closest and natural successor. Its interface is simple and has been largely unchanged, so helps with muscle memory.
E.g. https://www.inoreader.com/blog/2020/04/convert-almost-any-we...
So it's kinda natural that people saw the shutdown of Google Reader as a death-flag for Newsfeeds as a whole. And they are not so wrong on this. The decline continued since then and so far there is nothing in sight to reverse it and start a new hype.
