I learned a lot from this article about why claps actually matter - 👍
I like where you point out this is not a platform just for views/earnings because many writers tend to forget this is a platform for socializing and engagement.
In answer to your question - I think people are so focused on on the business side of things that they forget that those reading them are ppl too - I genuinely care for my audience and sometimes I let the business side of things slide because I know what is important to me
Thanks for a great read my friend - keep 'em coming😊👏👏🤝
