How can he lose your discoverability when he never had it? Sure, you won’t read his blog now, but you had no way of discovering it before.

You can’t lose something you didn’t have.

TIL there's no way of discovering content outside of Medium.

We are literally on a forum where they could have discovered OP's blog before, now, or after.

Content can be discovered using a search engine or through a link from another website.

If the authors of other websites link to it. But how do they discover it?

Speaking of own sites, but did you ever find out what is going on with effbot.org? Somewhat off topic, but I just found your older post & HN has disabled new comments there… I’ve referred to that Tkinter guide so many times. Sad to see it down.

Word of mouth. If your writing is good, it spreads itself.

Someone has to discover it before it can spread by word of mouth.

If they're clicking on a link, discoverability is done. It's been discovered.

Clicking on a link from where? Sure, if you have popular places linking to you, you don’t need medium’s discovery

Who cares? Clicking on a link was the premise, we just assume it to be true and move on.
