I plan to continue doing what I've been doing, engaging authentically without any form of trickery. I read a lot of stories, and clap 50 times for each one I read because I'm rewarding the effort not providing my judgment on quality. After all, I'm NOT grading papers. If I feel moved to comment or highlight I do so, as much or as little as I feel/think is right at the time. If people wish to reciprocate, great. If not, so be it. I also can't help if I'm the member of a relatively small community. That's Medium's doing, not mine.
