I had some time one day to go through my reading list. Most of the stories that day were short form, so I got through a lot of stories pretty quickly. I was clapping & commenting on most of them, until the app kicked me off and wouldn’t open for a while. I thought, “Oops, it thinks I’m spamming people!” Maybe it was just a glitch or maybe it really thought I was up to no good! LOL
But I think Medium really does pay attention to spam and things like that.
