poser users have been cropping thumbnails for at least 10 years in my experience. but I sympathise, as they're caught between scylla and charybdis. on the one hand, they know that if they do a thumb of the entire image, few folks will click on it, as they can already see whether it's worth looking at. on the other hand, they know that if they do a "teaser thumb", folks with little time to waste won't fall for the trick, and will skip what might well be an excellent image. and they've eliminated the only certain way to get alotta views - giant nude boobs :lol: of course, there are probably still some sites that allow giant nude boobs in thumbnails, if folks are desperate for views.
