😳 Hi Susan, at first I thought you had written about giving one clap. The Courtesy Clap is a new term for me:)
And a scam, if they are not reading :(
This is absolute nonsense.
Why show up and pretend to read?

All of these are ways to game the system. They show up and you receive the notification. Now the algo feeds you more of their stink. No, thanks.

I wait a day to ensure the stats register. Will make note of the day and check back. If it doesn’t show as a read, now I’m watching you. Do it again and I use my block.

Ditto for those who run through a writer’s comment section and give the ONE CLAP. Seriously? A auto block from me.
