I could not find any previous post even hinting at this method, which a friend discovered by mistake.
As you may know, you can only rate a media once. Even if you rate it several times in a row it will not count. The reason for this is that every rating is associated with an account. However, media VIEWS are not limited to one account, so one account CAN view the same media multiple times and the counter will increase.
Now, the thing here is sometimes it doesn't seem to increase the counter. But with a little testing it became more and more apparent how the view count system works, and that is ALL revealed here.
For practical purposes, this thread will be about snapshots, where you can upload 100 (the other media is limited to 5 each, and is harder to increase the count).
If you go to a friend's media, load snapshots, and hold down the right arrow you will fly thru the snapshots. You do NOT have to stay on each media for any time (unless you are also going for the Gallery Gazer trophy), a simple fly thru will work!
You will need to re-press the right arrow for each "page" (when it hits 21, 41, 61 and 81).
Now here are two big gold nuggets:
* Found that the way the system limits your views is by remembering what media you viewed during that game session. If you Quit the game, and then load the game again, you can view and increase the counter again! You might need to back out to the first page by hitting the circle O button several times, but not positive that this is necessary or not.
* Found that even thou the counter doesn't go up immediately, it IS still counting it. It seems like the server has one log of what was viewed and is slowly applying it to the media over the next few minutes. So if you view all media ten times in a row, and look at the view count ten minutes after you are done, each media count will have increased appropriately.
Good luck, hope this helps you. If you want to show a little gratitude, I would appreciate it if you 5* my snapshots (I have 100 new ones I just uploaded today, PSN:Netguy503). Thanks and good luck to you!
