I Clap Up to 50 Times
I live for the applause.
I’ve been on medium for over a week now, and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been interacting with other writers, commenting on posts, following new people, and clapping for articles.
Then I saw on one article that you could actually clap up to 50 times.
Not only is this a good way to appreciate stories, it’s important because it lets Medium know your interests. It improves Medium’s ability to recommend stories that you will enjoy.
50 claps serve as a good spectrum. You can show ‘Wow I really love this story!’ or ‘Congrats, you posted something.’
I’ve had some stories that really resonate with me, or I find extremely helpful, so I’ll hold down the clap button and it will fill up the bar to 50.
Other stories will resonate and I might give them anywhere from 15 to 40 claps. But I always leave at least one clap for an article for engagement purposes.
So, get to clapping and enjoy more of your favorite stories!
