This is a great article. It will be interesting hearing what experiences people have moving forward and how publishing changes to deal with things like this.

Sure, people who google details of my stories might find it available online, but how the heck would their readers know to go looking unless they publish it? I suspect it depends on the format and style of their publishing.

If they're an online mag who intends to offer titles and blurbs of content to attract readers, these readers might go googling, find my steem blog, and not choose to purchase. But for ones that still do print publications or who have the content only visible to subscribers, where is the conflict?

But I think the most important thing is to BE HONEST even if it costs us.
