I’m going to step back into reality for just a moment and say a few things. Just yesterday someone asked me what I thought about the whole clapping thing, and I replied, “I’m a go-with-the-flow kind of girl. Whatever…” But I changed my mind today — I think.

Just hear me out. Suppose we use the advantage of being able to clap multiple times to uplift the underdog and really fuck with Medium’s algorithms?

I’m a big fan of writers like Gutbloom and Caleb who are brilliantly funny but grossly underrated. So, starting today, this is how I’m going to “clap:”

  1. A story bursting with creativity, wit, and makes me chuckle out loud = 50 claps.
  2. All other stories that are well-written, insightful, and genuine = 2 claps.

Please feel free to follow my lead.

I originally only gave Caleb and Gutbloom 25 or 26 claps for their responses, but I’m going back now to clap my grubby little hands off.

Caleb Ramsby, Terijo, and Gutbloom, you guys made my day! Thanks for coming out to play.
