“Claps” — Why so many Medium?

I feel medium has made a great mistake in giving readers zillions of claps for any post they may like — 5 would have been a much more reasonable & useful amount.
50 claps, what a way skew results…. I for one am not going to give anyone 50 claps — but some “friends” may do so very deliberately!

1) I do not have the time
2) I do not have the inclination
3) I do not have the reason to do so — no story is worth clicking 50 times!

Medium, for more intelligent complex feed back how about a simple slider rating scale, or visible option of selecting, say 1 to 5?
