@cleverdevil This is interesting. I think this change actually happened a while ago, but I'm sure as Medium moves ever closer to being a completely paywalled silo it will become less easy or attractive for existing custom domains to remain. I'm intrigued to see what happens with all the publications and companies that went all-in on Medium. Basecamp moved Signal v. Noise into Medium a couple of years ago. Interesting now to look back at the post announcing that move.

Medium will no longer support custom domains, now firmly cementing them as a content silo, and not a platform for publishers that wish to retain ownership of their content. Don't give your hard work and creative content to silos, folks. https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/11500... cleverdevil.io

@cleverdevil Wow. I haven't been following Medium very closely (at all), but this is surprising to me.
