From their cameras popularity graph (https://www.flickr.com/cameras https://www.flickr.com/cameras), I think the popularity of Flickr has died off with Instagram and all the various social networks. The most popular camera phone on there is iPhone 6 (2014). For point and shoots, it's the first generation RX100 (2012).
- ghaff 8y agoYahoo certainly largely neglected it for a long time though I still use it myself and know other relatively serious photographers who do as well. I'm actually a bit of two minds about comparing Flickr with social media sites like Instagram. Certainly, casual photo sharing is far more popular on those sites. On the other hand, I'd have to be convinced that a single site can really function as SmugMug or Flickr do for people who self-identify as prosumers while at the same time also being the preferred site for the typical Instagram user.
- zimpenfish 8y ago> I think the popularity of Flickr has died off with Instagram For me it was because uploading a photo to Instagram was a trivial process (launch app, pick photo, type words, done) in an app that felt nice - Flickr's iOS app was awful. That combined with Flickr's incessant need to dick around with the UI/UX and break things lost me pretty quickly. This year I won't be renewing my Pro.
