True, claps mean nothing Yet they bring writers joy; sense Of validation.

I have written about this in some of my pieces before, but I’ll say it again: we each have an unlimited amount of claps (50 max per story, but no daily maximums), so why not clap abundantly if you like a story?

For me, if a story is well-written, and I liked it enough to read it — even if I don’t love it enough to save it and tweet it and send it to all my friends — I can honor the writer and his/her process and validate them with my claps.

Claps are like smiles — we lose nothing by giving them away, but can make someone else’s day.

Try it. Clap abundantly for the next piece you like and see how you feel!

If you are one of those who claps less than 50 for a piece you actually like, please comment below and help me understand your process. What am I missing?
