Google killed Google Reader because of Google+, if I remember correctly. To push people towards the new platform, where stories should be shared.

Well... that worked.

The irony for me is that if a company wanted to construct a strong profile of me to sell me ads, I'd have to imagine that Feedly (I switched to Feedly when Google Reader was retired) would now be one of the best placed to do that. I spend far more of my personal time there than in any other app.
