Why can’t it just be claps of: encouragement, appreciation, something resonated, they wish to do a good deed?!! It’s a kind act—I wish it weren’t overthought and just seen as a virtual clap. Even when I’ve seen poorly done shows by children in “real life”—I clap several times because I wish to applaud their efforts.
I think the comments are where we can each find just how in depth our readers wish to engage us or appreciated the writing.
Just my .02
Happy writing!
