How does someone get more likes than views ?
NewavaMike wrote: I mean, shouldn't the # of views always be at least equal to the # of likes ? One might view a photo, not click that they like it . Just trying to learn a little more about how this place works .
Hi Mike... pardon the delayed response, I just noticed your question and can easily show you what is happening!
If you go to our Gallery Home for example: www.photographytalk.com/gallery/trending/landscape-photography You'll see a layout like:
Now you can interact with photos 1 of 2 ways here. You can click on an image and view it, like it, or comment on it as shown here: www.photographytalk.com/photos/449947
Alternatively and what is very common for the 'PT Browsers' is to engage with photos directly from for example: www.photographytalk.com/gallery/trending/landscape-photography . When you run your mouse over each image, you can see some options to share an image AND 'Like' it. As shown here:
When you 'Like' an image from this view, our system will track the 'Like' but because the image wasn't opened, we don't count that as a view.
As I'm typing this response out, I thinking we should start counting that as a view as technically, for that person to like your image, they would have looked at it. OK... I'll get this squared away. Stay tuned!
Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.
