Is there an equivalent to Godwin's law wrt threads about Google and Google Reader?
replySee also: any programming thread and Rust.
I'm convinced my last groan will be reading a thread about Google paper clipping the world, and someone will be moaning about Google Reader.
reply“A more elegant weapon of a civilised age.”
replyLol, it seems obvious in retrospect, there really, really, needs to be.
replyTherefore we now have “Vinkel’s Law”
I never get the moaning about killing Reader. It was never about popularity or user experience.
replyReader had to be killed because it [was seen as] a suboptimal ad monetization engine. Page views were superior.
Was Google going to support minimizing ads in any way?
How is this relevant? At best it’s tangentially related and low effort
replyCan you not vibe code it back into existence yet?
replyTook a while but I got to the google reader post. Self host tt-rss, it's much better
