Clap while you still want to. Do it now.
It’s Time to Pay Your Clap Debt
Sorry, I waited as long as I could. But enough is enough.
I have something to tell you.
I experimented.
And I have to warn you.
The results are edifying.
It was a time-consuming exercise, but it was worth it because you’re fantastic readers who deserve to know. (Except for some of you) I’m not naming anyone here, but you know who you are.
Experimental protocol
Each time I clapped for an article, I registered the information in an Excel file. Below is an extract from Valentine’s Day (because I love you all except those I don’t).
I changed the name of the authors and the title of their articles for confidentiality reasons, but you get the idea.
And each time someone clapped for one of my articles, I registered the information in the same file. For confidentiality reasons, I replaced the title of my articles with its boost number.
