Here's a practical question: Who will you complain to if you don't
like the new interface?

Go to RBT at:
https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech
In the upper right of the page, you'll find an icon that looks like a
square flag with an explanation mark inside. Click, and it will take
you to "Report Google Groups Bug".

To be uncharacteristically honest, the only time I use Google groups
is when I'm out of other options for reading news. For a time, I even
had anything posted from Google Groups added to my Forte Agent kill
file, as Google Groups was the source of most of the spam and moronic
traffic in the groups I read.

"Neanderthals" may be too kind

It's probably safe to blame the dead, unless genetic research succeeds
in recreating a genuine living Neanderthal. When that happens, you
will need to revise your racist comment:

It's Usenet. I don't use any Gurgle at all.

Shhhh! I've been charging Tom $18.99 a month for access to GoogleGroups. That's how I got so rich. I'm a hundredaire thanks to Tom!

Somebody will likely correct me but I believe that some sites that
offer Usenet charge for the service. Which is likely why the wide use
of "eternal September" and "albasani.net" which are free.

Nobody "owns" a news group or newsgroup hierarchy. I don't know what
you mean by "platform". On my planet, that's a generic term of
something that looks and acts like a computer.

What I think you mean is that Sheldon created and maintained an
excellent web site:
https://www.sheldonbrown.com
When Sheldon died, maintenance of the web site was passed to John
Allen of Harris Cyclery:
https://www.harriscyclery.net/catalog/harris-cyclery-catalog-39/
Also see:
https://sheldonbrown.com/blog/

None of these have anything to do with the various Usenet newsgroups.

"Best Usenet providers of 2020"

Note that all of those listed charge for the service.

I pay for my Usenet service through SuperNews, which is owned by
Giganews:
https://www.supernews.com/special/usenet-special/
I'm on a really old, no longer avaialable, text groups only, NNTP
plan. Mostly, I'm paying for the spam filtering. My typical monthly
download averages 3.5 MBytes. (Yes, that's megabytes, not gigabytes).
Going back in time between 2008 and 2020, my highest month was 10.2
MBytes. I only download what I read.

How do I get access to Usenet without paying any Usenet fees?

What is your operating system?
You will need to get a usenet client/program.
You can websearch for a usenet client for your OS.

FWIW, I'm currently using Pan on Devuan linux.

I could just as easily user Thunderbird, which is a browser, mailer and
usenet client, but it has been a while since I used it.

For free, you need to websearch on free usenet services. Last time I
there were a number, includig eternal-september, AIOEE and others, but
not all of them are reliable.

Note they are only free for basic text usenet, If you want binaries, then
you usually need to pay.
