Learn Turkish: Blogdaki hikâye çok takipçi getirdi. - The story on the blog brought many followers.

You would typically place the summarization marker right at the beginning of the sentence to signal the conclusion. For example: Sonuç olarak, blogdaki hikâye çok takipçi getirdi. (As a result, the story on the blog brought many followers.)

Why is it takipçi and not takipçiler since the English translation says "many followers"?

In Turkish, when a noun is modified by a word indicating a plural quantity like çok (many), az (few), or a number, the noun remains in the singular form. Even at the B2 level, this is easy to forget when translating in your head. It is always çok takipçi, never çok takipçiler.

How does the -ki suffix work in blogdaki?

The -ki suffix attaches to the locative case -da / -de (in/on/at) to turn a location into a modifier. Here, blogda means "on the blog", and adding -ki creates blogdaki, which describes the noun hikâye. It translates structurally to "the on-the-blog story".

Does getirmek always mean "to bring" physically, or can it be used abstractly like in English?

Just like in English, getirmek can be used both for physical objects (bringing a book) and abstract outcomes or results. In this sentence, the story didn't physically carry the followers, but it "brought" them in as a result. Turkish and English share this figurative usage.
