Let’s Talk About the Power of 50 Claps
Three fascinating things I’ve learned about claps as a beginning writer on Medium
As I was watching Tchaikovsky’s two-act classical ballet Nutcrakcer the other night, I started thinking about Medium 50 claps — I know — Why? How? But I’ll come back to that one later.
So it sparked my curiosity, and when one is curious, one asks, with the hope of not being jinxed like a black cat.
Have you ever given thorough thought to the significance of 50 claps and what this number represents to you?
Why 50 claps and why just 1 clap? Why sometimes 15 of them and why sometimes only 3?
Are these claps here for support or for feedback?
With your clapping, are you expressing your support, or are you indicating how much you like this article?
In that case, we can observe a scale from 1 — not so good, to 50 — magnificent… or not?
As mentioned earlier, the other night I went to see “The Nutcracker,” a traditional Christmas ballet that brings the festive season to life.
It was pure magic! I definitely recommend seeing it at least once in your lifetime.
