I'm Dying!

I’m Dying!



. . . No, not now!


—I’m dying!
What is it?
—I’m dying!
Should I call an ambulance?
—No! No, not now! No, not tonight! I mean, eventually!
Boris, everybody dies.
—It’s unacceptable!
from “Whatever Works”(Woody Allen)

When you clap for a post on Medium ( up to 50 claps! ) you’re letting the writer know that you read their words. You’re acknowledging their work. You’re giving them the chance to check their stats and see that they aren’t screaming into the void. Someone is listening. It can increase visibility of the article on the website. 
Sometimes writers also are trying to make a little money with their work. Medium allows writers to put their work behind a pay wall. When you clap for their story, if you’re a paying member, a percentage of your $5 goes to that writer. It’s kind of like leaving a tip.
