This quote, extracted from your clapping article reveals ALL Gatkek ... it's reading time, and therefore earnings that you are after!!

Hello ... this is Fred

Now don't you stop reading this Gatkek, because I am also writing to thank you for reading some of my Medium stuff and deciding to follow me. Thank you for ‘the follow’.

After checking out your Home Page and liking what I found, (though a bit 'heavy' on the clapping etc thing) I have decided to follow YOU.

I’m happy to have you as one of my new Medium friends, and I wish you all the best with your own writing journey.

Fred

👍😊❤

PS: If you haven’t yet checked out my various story collections, you’ll find them in an article titled: “NEW INDEX to Fred’s Story Boxes” pinned near-top of my Home Page ... Happy reading
