Any Text
The same question applies to Facebook, text messages, and any other written communication. Will people understand your presentation at work? What are you doing to be more clear?
Medium contains numerous articles explaining writing mechanics and automated tools, but how do you know your article is effective before you publish it?
Will the reader get your points?
Will grammatical issues be annoying enough to prevent them from finishing?
Is the structure irritating?
You can do only so much yourself. Computer tools have limits. You make subconscious assumptions when proofreading your story.

Use independent proofreaders
What to do? You can hire an editor, read your article to friends, publish blindly, or do what I did - join a writers club.
