Google killed the best RSS reader ever made because it didn't fit their Google+ social strategy. The same Google+ that also died. So Google killed a beloved product to feed a product that also died. It's the ouroboros of product mismanagement. A decade later, people are still mad. Rightfully. Some wounds don't heal.
