I join you in disliking the claps. Maybe it give Medium more analytics, but I used to rely on the number of recommends to give me a sense of which articles might be worth reading more carefully. No more! When I see thousands of claps, I just figure a lot of people held down the clap button. And I no longer feel that hitting the recommend/clap means much of anything.
