Claps: Let Writers Know You Appreciate Their Work

Give all the love you can because it’s just right

When the waitress serves us well, we tip her for a job well done. We tip the Uber driver for bringing us home because not everybody gets home safely at the end of the day. We show them our appreciation and gratitude.

We tip the pizza delivery guy because it’s rude not to. We tip the barber and the lady who does our manicures and pedicures. Some platforms like Vocal even encourage the reader to leave tips for writers.

But what about the writer on Medium? They do important work and need love too! The least we can do is clap for their work.

Writers put in so much work to get their message out there, and it’s good to show our appreciation for any job well done. We show our favorite writer we appreciate them by applauding their story.

We clap for storytellers for telling a great story. We pay to go watch amazing movies in theaters. That's no problem at all because we feel it’s worth every penny. Writers deserve the same kind of acknowledgment.

Writers create materials for people to consume and expand their minds. We read articles to strengthen our brains and broaden our vocabulary. We read to entertain ourselves and reduce our stress levels. There is nothing like a great story for the morning commute or falling asleep to a great article.
