Okay, 1st off, unless they've changed again you get paid by views and reading time, not by claps. So anyone who has read your article has paid for your writing. 2ndly, whether someone has clapped for you or not, if they've bothered to read and comment they are acting to drive engagement to you as a brand and are making you a better writer, provided you have the self awareness and emotional maturity enough to realize that instead of coming off like a spoiled toddler swaddled in pretention.
