Going to shill for Feedbin (https://feedbin.com). I switched to this in 2012 when Reader blew up and it has remained a consistently excellent product since then.

I use the web client, and on iOS I use Reeder app to access Feedbin. Ben even published the a Feedbin API¹, which I wrote a Feedbin client for vintage computers (I called Mosaicbin)². I even use it for YouTube subs as of this year and it ingests them perfectly (and can filter Shorts).

I'm still on the original pricing but would happily pay $5/mo current price if it came to that. It's a product that would leave a huge void in my life if it ever disappeared.

I second this recommendation!

I joined later than you: May 2013. If it really was 2012 when Google Reader blew up, I can't remember what I used before finding Feedbin. Maybe Feedly, maybe something else that came and went or maybe even a local reader...

For Android users, I recommend "Capy Reader" as a client.

Correction, Google announced shutting down Reader in 2013. IIRC Feedbin was created at the same time in response to that. So we were both likely among the first users.

We're mostly on the same page. I moved to Feedbin after GR went away.

I also use Reeder on iOS but am happy with the Feedbin web app on my Mac.

Feedbin is a service I'm 100% happy to pay for.
