Likes Are Not the Same as Paid-views Recently ClickaSnap changed its policy for Notifying subscribers when another subscriber viewed a photo. They removed the Notifications. What used to be about a 50-50 ratio of Subscriber Notifications to Non-subscriber View count is now a complete mystery. The ostensible reason for stopping the View notifications is that some subscribers did not want to get notified. That stance may have derived from having to clear each and every notification one-by-one. Yes, having to do that was a nuisance when dozens to hundreds of notification were posted. Having to clear each notification separately was made onerous earlier in 2023 when the system stopped clearing the blue dot each time a notification way viewed. Some subscribers, myself included, asked for a "Clear All" Button. We got that function at the same time as losing View Notifications. That function would have satisfied people who wanted to not have so many Notifications to clear. Incidenta

They do not fit well on phones and tablets. The opposite for portrait orientations is what will work.   Click for larger im
