Related, for consideration.  
I haven’t used it a ton and I’m no longer on Medium but I thought the idea of Claps (on Medium) was interesting. Some random thoughts about the feature:

- May only apply (well) to the “long form” content?
- I can see how it could be a problem for content that is versioned.
- Probably have to track how many applauses a user is allotted each 
- probably TrustLevel 2 gets more than 1 etc.
- Would be interesting to think about how that “analogue-ness” could be aligned with the boosts feature.

I always thought, with a finite currency of [claps] in someones profile, choosing to spend more (or less) on a particular item is interesting way to guage “engagement”.
