This is only half-true. In reality when it comes to Google your search results are never consistent, because they're tailored to you and generally each user. When I search for it on Google (which I almost never use) your article is not even on the 4th page. In contrast however, on DuckDuckGo, I think it's the 4th or 5th on the first page! The problem here is not that users get to the article via search-engines but the fact that many don't have a Medium subscription or know how to circumvent it and read your article for free.
