Attention Medium writers: If you want claps, then you must insist that Medium drop the dickbars (see: https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/medium_dickbars https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/medium_dickbars).
Medium with dickbars? = No claps.
- eterm 9y agoAre dickbars the things that break me reading medium by popping up every time I highlight text? (Which I do frequently while reading).
- have_faith 9y agoI highlight text as I'm reading too, clicking very fast as I do. Every time one of those share boxes pops up and because of my fast clicking I accidentally click some 'tweet highlighted text' button I almost have an aneurysm.

- bemmu 9y agoI recently did a test of what percentage of HN users highlight text as they read. 11.52%
- have_faith 9y ago61% according to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4839436 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4839436, ignoring to increase text contrast. Would be very interested in what percentage of "regular" people have the habit. My girlfriend looked very puzzled when she first observed me doing it and found it very peculiar.
- AnkleInsurance 9y agoDaring Fireball in 2017? No claps. DF wasn't funny or interesting years ago and it hasn't changed. "Hurr hurr #Dickbar" Disgusting.
