Yahoo, that's what happened. Yahoo and their stupid Yahoo login.

  Flickr was perfectly fine for years after the Yahoo! buyout that really made no change besides mandating the usage of a Yahoo! account to log in. I still have my Yahoo! email used just for that (unlike then-competitor hotmail, Yahoo! accounts didn't self-destruct after two weeks of inactivity). The real damage came later.

    I'm not sure what you mean, I've lost my yahoo account permanently due to inactivity.

That was the real damage: once Yahoo! bought them, things stagnated except for when they made it worse. The rest of the market didn't stand still while they were by all accounts fighting internal political battles.
