I remember quite good that the end of Google Reader was just shortly before we released the first version of Nextcloud News (back then ownCloud). We had a Google Reader import right from the beginning and many users where happy that they could switch from Google to a self-hosted Free Software solution right away. And Nextcloud News is/was not the only solution available. So I agree with you, that it is not a excuse for the rise of Facebook and Twitter.

Anyone complaining about the Google shutting down Reader had more than enough time to find and adapt to an alternative. And, yes, there are (and were) a number of options.

Blaming the death of Google Reader for the rise of Facebook and Twitter as primary (and often unreliable) news sources is a poor excuse for not taking the time to find another option (2/2)

It's been 5 years since Google pulled the plug on Reader, and there are people still whinging about ot. I'm not Google's biggest fan or booster, but the company gave 1) several months' notice that they were discontinuing Reader, and 2) detailed instructions for exporting feeds. (1/2)
