I am still upset about that. That single service being shut down is what started me to distance myself from all google services except search when possible (including making the decision to actually pay for services when necessary)

I pay for an Inoreader supporter account. It's cheap, it works, I don't have to maintain it, and it ensure some revenue to the developers to keep it going.

I'm keeping my gmail.com because it's my main personal online identity, despite hating the UI.

If I could pay to retain access to Google Inbox if I could like I'm already paying for Google One to hopefully gain some resemblance of support if shit hits the fan.

I use Feedly pro and the Reeder app on my iPhone for RSS now. Only because Feedly made migrating away from Google Reader super easy when that whole thing was happening.

I stick with iCloud for my email, cloud stage, documents, and etc (with the 2TB plan)

The last thing I am mulling over is moving my "professional" email away from Google Apps (or whatever its called now) to Amazon email or something... but the fact that I can't decouple that google account from the email has stopped me so far (Thanks to bad past decisions and single sign on).

I used inoreader. I'm happy with free, but you're right I should start paying as I keep moving off RSS readers that get shut down.

You don't want to use anything Google except search? That was about the easiest one to step away from (using duckduckgo now).

I want to love and use duckduckgo as my primary search engine.... But every time I try I am disappointed by the results. Unfortunately I realize that is mostly because of the profile they have already built on me.
