I'm slightly worried that some people have taken me seriously here. This really is (mostly) a joke. Please clap as often as you see fit.
That said, I'm very happy to have taught a number of people that multiple claps are possible. I feel like I've made my mark on Medium. Everyone who receives multiple claps from now on owes me a drink.
Lastly, to the people who left me a single clap on this post (you know who you are), thankyou. I feel seen.
