Clapping should be an inspiration, not a labor and we ain’t supporting that.

There is something that I felt needs to be readdressed about engaging with writers’ content.

Especially for new writers and readers of developing a bad habit of going to someone’s profile and just clapping each post like you “got to go”.

This not just hurt the writer and themselves but the side effects that leave to a new writer can cause them a longer lesson or even an additional months of work to find true growth even if they hit consistency.

Even if this can not be stop or it happens pretty often but once they are aware it will never be the same.

If you can save one writer, save them.

So need your support in spreading the awareness.

Change your act and change your path.
