Yes they have this claps feature. Isn't it weird, like, cheating, that one can clap 50 times for the same story? I'm wondering if Medium in this way fools people into thinking their / others stories are more popular, than what they actually are? And in that way Medium thinks Medium will get more traction? Or why allow that many claps and not show # clappers? I clapped 50 times for this story "Medium is a poor choice for blogging".
