Did Flickr change its view counting method after the recent UI change which shows photos in a never-ending scroll?

 

In the past, my typical daily view count circles around 3000 views per day, but as you can be seen in the screenshot here, it has gone up to the 5-digit range. So much so that in typical Flickr fashion they have probably locked my account two days before which moved view count to zero.

 

I know that they do inspect “suspicious activities” by temporarily locking accounts because every time my photos get used on prominent web sites, my view count will soar, and then immediately the next day I would see my view count drop to zero. But I am fairly certain that this is not such instance.

 

Also noted: normal new photo views typically circles around 50 at most daily but something posted yesterday now will circle in the 200+ values, leading me to suspect that something is going on — though exactly what is unclear.
