Yep. I have my own web-based feed reader that I wrote when they shut down Google Reader and have used daily ever since.

#92Actually, no. But I consider it a useful and unexpensive feature so I'll support it on my blog nevertheless.
Kudos. In 00's there was print version, a very convenient feature. They are actually needed mpre today. Not just for printers of course. For the real content, wo banners, ads and crap :
Trying to read some articles, especially without an adblocker, like if I'm on iOS, can be quite annoying. I've found some ways around it, but I use reddit on my phone a lot and anytime I open an article in the app I get frustrated at how horrible the experience is and wonder how many people read articles like that and find it acceptable. I also wonder how the company thinks their website isn't the worst thing to ever exist.

I just discovered Feedbin and never paid for a RSS Reader before. Is it really worth paying 5$ ?
Re: Ask HN: Do you still use RSS?
#99Yes I do, and I'm still annoyed about Google Reader.

#100Of course I still use RSS. RSS offers me the possibility to consume news in the way I want. No algorithms that think they have to decide for me what interests me and what not. No algorithms that withhold news from me. Only the feeds I have subscribed to, all news from these feeds and no advertising between the news. I'm done when I'm done and don't have to look at any more suggested articles. And I have the possibility to save articles for later reading. Miniflux is my favorite RSS reader. And I use the word RSS representatively for RSS, Atom and JSON Feed.
