Medium Money. What really matters.
Claps are out of the equation. It’s all about real-time and read-ratio is in.
Does that mean writers don’t get paid for claps?
From Medium help center, the answer is yes. Claps are no longer in the pay equasion for writers.

Clapping allows you to show your support for a Medium post.
To clap for a story or list, click the clap button on the posting page. You can clap up to 50 times per post or list, and you can use it to show the author how much you liked the story or list.
When ranking stories, our system will evaluate claps users give out on an individual basis, assessing their applause for a particular post relative to the number of claps they typically give.
Clapping for a story or list will notify the author that you applauded.
I say keep doing 50 or some writers may freak out. It has been a great gauge of our progress for a long time. I say, don’t upset the applecart.
So, what’s a good read ratio on Medium?
