Medium Clap Snobs Beware
Why do some people give you four claps and some 50? What is the point of being stingy with claps?

Recently I joined an engagement group on Facebook for Medium writers.
I like the people there. I am making some good connections and discovering great writers and poets.
Thanks to you all, you know who you are.
I have however noticed that you get the skimpy clappers.
Those who give four claps, seriously?
Sometimes even only one. I mean leave the one, we don’t want your finger to go into a spasm now do we?
I have been a volunteer editor for publications and genuine engagement meant you read and comment obviously.
I also slam that clap button and hold it down until it hits 50.
Not because I have to, but why not?
It’s not that difficult.
I will do an experiment now. It takes all of 10 seconds to hit 50 claps.
Now, why do we have clap snobs in our community? Or are they bots?
A little bit of rage today I know, it’s only my own fault, I already planned this story the other day, yet I thought the added rage would amplify it a bit.
Sneaky me. You got to time your stories right!
Ok, the rage is over.
Snob clapper, I will find you and when I do, I will clap you 50 times.
