I Was the Victim of a Medium Clap Drive-By Again…
These clowns never learn
Are you dealing with a lack of reads? Want to get more attention on your articles? All you need to do is clap on seven articles in a row in the span of less than a minute!
This sure-fire method is guaranteed to grab the attention of the author, and it always works. Of course, it also means you are getting blocked, but it never hurts to try!
Seriously though, why do people think it’s a good idea to clap on seven articles in a row? Do they think we are too dumb to realize that it’s impossible to read in such a short time span?
I also have another question. Is it okay to show the screenshot of the name, or does Medium require us to block the name of the account? I have no problem sharing the account to everyone, but I’m not familiar with the rules.
Anyway, I just thought I would share this story and try to make it a little entertaining.
Hopefully, he didn’t kill my read ratio too badly on those articles. Maybe the earnings from writing about this topic can help offset whatever damage occurred due to the clap drive-by!
Thanks for reading about another day in the life of writing on Medium.
Feel free to let me know your own experience with these amazing speed readers in the comments.
