I find this so interesting and a good topic to write about. When I first started out here I used to clap once until I realised I could clap more. I only give 50 claps to those that I continue to read regularly. Sometimes I clap less than 50 but it depends. I think Medium should go back to the way it was when 50 claps meant something. Let's hope they do. Not sure what I would think if they took clapping away. I suppose it would make things alot easier, especially when your notifications are a mile long that it makes it time consuming to go through them all.
