Clap Interpretations From a Confused Writer
Why did you only clap 4 times?? 😭😭
I gotta admit. When I first signed up to Medium I had no idea how that whole clap thingymabobber worked. Hit it once and these fun little things fly out of the hands. Cool.
I’m easily amused.
It probably took me a good month or more to understand just how the claps really do work. You see, when I first joined, I literally just showed up and started writing. I didn’t read any rules (don’t try that at home kids) and I didn’t look into Medium at all to even find out how it works.
Nope. Nudda. I just came and wrote.
So a few months in and I was sort of getting the hang of it. I mean, honestly, I still have a shit ton to learn but thanx to some great peeps in a group I belong to, I get all of my questions answered. Phew.
See? Who needs to read rules?
I dug a little deeper to find out about this whole clapping thing. How many and why. Well everyone had a totally different answer to that one. Then about a month or so later someone wrote an article about clapping 50 times.
Ooooh. I get it now.
Anyway, after reading her article, that had some really good points in it, I decided that everyone was going to get 50 claps…
