> Especially as most businesses aren't going to have an automatic way to do this easily...
I find myself surprised by the idea that, in most cases, any business is not used some form of automated solution for resume filtering. In that case, it seems like automated rejection responses should be a capability provided by that solution. I can't recall the last time I went through an application process that wasn't clearly provided to the company I was applying for by a third-party company, though I'll grant that the companies to which I might apply are likely not those to which you are referring.
I doubt passion is needed to execute at a "great" level once the skills are built to do so, but I think it's pretty likely that passion play an important role at building the capability

I'm an early-career software developer with 4 years of professional experience. I've worked mainly on backend applications and .NET WebAPIs, but would be interested in moving to a more full-stack role. I am passionate about seeing the impact my work makes on the end-user, and believe wholeheartedly that the development lifecycle works best when engineers are in regular contact with those users.
I'm looking for a place with a strong culture of ownership, and somewhere to really focus on growing my technical skills and get exposed to the long-term impacts of technical and architectural decisions in a given business domain.
I disagree with this, at least as a blanket statement. Plenty of workplaces are a deeply negative factor in people's lives.
If what you're saying is really more along the lines of "having a project and way to spend the time is a net positive", then I completely agree, but I don't think that has to be tightly coupled to work (as in employment) per se.
Those problems have nothing to do with the nature of work. Bad management, low pay and too many hours have no bearing on the importance of work.
It allows you to contribute to society and get social validation. "Personal projects" typically do neither (if they did, they would be lucrative). Even the boring stuff can be meditative. Provided the conditions are adequate, work is good for people and society at large.
I would imagine it's some combination of network effect for the readers (it's where the content is), and ease-of-use for creators. I've never published on Medium, so I can't actually speak to ease, but that seems the most reasonable explanation to me.
I also do not care for Medium, but for a lot of things it's where I can find information, so I put up with it as much as I have to.
I'll be checking there as well, but assuming all these are true (I don't currently have time to evaluate), what are some better privacy-focused search engines to try?
