Since October 2019 I pay for feedbin. I think it is 5 dollars. I had to look it up, that is monthly. So, at $60 a year not super cheap. For me it is worth it. There is still a surprising rich amount of RSS feeds out there. News generators that don’t have them? Well they don’t get my attention then. Last time I checked it is a buyers market: There is ample supply for peoples attention in 2020. There are many content generators who switched to newsletters. Makes sense to push things into people email inboxes. Feedbin has a great feature: You get an email address that you can have newsletter sent to.
I have not experienced a single bug or outage. The system is fast and realiable. More than happy to pay $5 for it. It actually is better than google reader. Google made a couple of cardinal mistakes during the last two decades. Shutting down reader was one of them. They wanted to migrate people over to Wave. Google Wave. Look it up, it was a thing …
Feedbin is very much a thing. It makes my days better. Every single one of them. Which reminds me: I want to try to stop using the Internet one day a week.
