Substitute for what? News aggregator? If that’s what you’re seeking, I use FEEDLY.

thanks, I will try that out. Yeah, a news aggregator, not a comment site like here. I like both.
What I see at feedly.com is a blank screen. Looking at their source code, I see stuff like this:
<strong style="color:#333">Is feedly blocked</strong><br> Feedly is not able to load. It is probably because one of your extensions is blocking it. If you run Adblock, HTTPSEverywhere, Awesome screenshot etc.. please make sure that feedly.com is white listed.
I think I'll pass on it.
