What Is Important? Claps, Views, Followers, Or Reads?
Just Say It
Have you heard of “Vanity Metrics” lately?
Yes, this refers to claps, views, followers, and other features that do not count.
Metric is a system of standard measurement.
I have found out that though claps do not add to your bottom line, it has a lot of merits.
Claps encourage you to keep your writing spirit high.
Claps convey a sense of solidarity and comradeship amongst writers and readers.
These people are cheerleaders who are always ready to offer helpful hints and comments that make you feel that you are not alone.
It’s an assurance that you are not wasting your time.
They are actually sending a message that you should keep going.
This gesture has inspired many writers to continue to show up with renewed strength and vigor.
Without this group of readers, writing would be boring and uninteresting. Claps may not magically impact your pocket, they can adequately boost your morale.
Claps should not be considered an unnecessary waste of time.
The medium promoters know better, that is why they retain that feature.
