Do you think they give 49 claps for no reason? Ex-50 clappers now give 49 ! Forty nine divided by 50 is <1 -- multiply that by reads, then divide by total pool. It is a perceived advantage on their part [but they forget there is an algo - and who knows how that works - I agree the zero roulette was a bad example mathematically, but I kinda read it that way philosophically [if you want to call it that] -- else I can't see any reason why it has become a trend! Why do people give 38claps instead of just giving 50 -- because they see their claps as currency of a sort! Not all, but most! Why do you think they do it Chris?
