…caution (as I’m guessing you’ve all considered) against the potential gaming of the system, though. How will Medium account for a writer’s friends/network artificially inflating the clap response?

I love that this conversation is happening, and that it is happening out in public.

Claps only result in payout if they are from paying members. So if a writer’s friends/network want to support them, that’s totally fine.
