WordPress Changes 2016 to 2017 – Reader, User Interface and Accessing the Original System

Many WP bloggers do not like the changes that have occurred over the past two years and disapprove of the high handed manner with which they were implemented.

More recent changes to the WP Reader and the loss of one of the old Stats pages has caused more rancour.  Some bloggers are now saying they will abandon WP if things get any worse.  It is already seems that the numbers of abandoned blogs and infrequently used blogs are increasing.
