Grandmas can be scary. Believe me. I know.

New Rule: If You Clap and Run, I Will Tell Your Grandma

It’s a new world out there in Mediumland

OK. Listen up, people. There are new rules on Medium. These rules say that if you have a shitty read ratio, you won’t get any money (in any case, less).

And who’s hurting our read ratio the most? It’s not dissatisfied readers thinking we wrote some clickbait (they don’t exist).

It’s the EVIL CLAP AND RUN PEOPLE.

For reference, the new and updated definition of “clap and run” is clapping and staying less than 30 seconds on an article. Even if you’re a slow runner leaving only after 29 seconds, you will now be considered a clap-and-runner.

We all know why clap-and-runners do that. They want to show up in our notifications hoping for reciprocal reading, but they’re spammers and don’t take the time to read the article they clapped for.

So far, I didn’t care much because whatever. But now, they’re hurting me in the feels (also called $) because of Medium’s new rules. The read ratio is one of the seventeen abstruse adjustments they introduced on August 1st, but it has a lot of impact.

So, if any of you mofo clap and run on any of my articles, I will call my grandma to tell her what you did, and she will call your grandma to tell her what you did, and I wouldn’t like to be you at that point.
