Realistically, if we all clap a bunch on everything, the payout would be the same as 1 clap anyway. But I think it’s just the principle. Personally, I want people to be happy when they see I enjoyed their work so much I wanted to clap as much as I possibly could. Everyone has their own system though; I’ve heard of some people only ever clapping 3 times for their most favorite stories.
