Why I Always Clap 50 Time
Because I love your story!
I love writing stories here on Medium. I also love reading stories from other writers here on Medium. I love to read your stories (which I can’t read all of them), but when I love your story a lot I give you 50 claps.
I know the days when clapping was giving you money, is over. Still, I give 5 claps for your story. It is because you deserve those engagements here on Medium to be known for your work, your hard work you put in that story.
When I give you 50 claps, it is because I think your story needs to be recognized here on Medium. When I clap 50 times, I see value in your story. Your story moved me a lot to give you 50 claps.
This is what Medium said about claps:
Claps
Clapping allows you to show your support for a Medium post.
When ranking stories, our system will evaluate claps users give out on an individual basis, assessing their applause for a particular post relative to the number of claps they typically give.
Clapping for a story will notify the author that you applauded.
So, you know when I clapped for your stories. I will be notified when you clapped for my stories.
