Claps do not work like likes
One reader can clap up to fifty times on the same story, which means the number under a post is not a headcount. A story with two hundred claps might have had eight enthusiastic readers or a hundred lukewarm ones, and there is no way to tell from outside. Everybody who spends time on Medium knows this, which quietly reduces how much the figure signals.
What it still does is separate a story somebody responded to from one nobody finished. That distinction is worth something even when the exact figure is not.
Two checks first
- Confirm the story is published, not a draft.
- Open it in a private window to check an anonymous reader can reach it.
- Enter the address above with your email and confirm.

Distribution on Medium runs on publication curation and reader behaviour, and a clap count is not an input to either. For volume see Medium claps, or build the one number that compounds with free Medium followers.
