The Case Of The Serial UnClapper
Who would go to the trouble of taking back their claps?
I mean, sure, I’ve done it a few times, on ONE article — maybe I had an itchy clapper finger and I hadn’t fully absorbed the implications of someone’s position before pulling the trigger.
So, sure, I took back my claps lest I be tainted.
But today somebody took back their claps on my stories going all the way back to AUGUST OF 2021.
Was this the intentional act of a disgruntled human being, or did the All Mighty Medium Gods take the claps back because somebody couldn’t pay their monthly vig?
I imagine it goes something like this:
*truck backing up noise* “Daddy, why is that big man chewing a cigar?”
“Well, son, that’s the Medium repo man. He’s come to take back daddy’s claps.”
“But why, daddy?”
“Well, son, since the mill closed, I haven’t been able to put food on the table and pay Medium $5 per month so I can read all of those clickbait articles about how to make money on Medium. So they sent out their repo man with a hook truck to repo my claps.”
“Will it hurt, daddy?”
