Flickr? Moon landing? What year is it?
- sen 2y agoFlickr has had a resurgence of popularity among photographers since yahoo sold it. It’s easily the best “professional” photo hosting site currently.
- consumer451 2y agoThis is an interesting tangent. Is it Flickr's copyright rules that make it attractive? Or, something else? Lack of existing competitors? Not associated with a social media account?
- chefandy 2y agoIf you’re going to post albums of high-res photographs on the internet… why not Flickr?
- caycep 2y agoyea, flickr has always been reliable for this sort of thing

- butlike 2y agoIt's a valid question about ToS, and one I'm not sure of.
- chefandy 2y agoYeah I did a brief scan and a brief search for opinions on their practices when I saw the comment I initially replied to and didn’t find anything concerning. Doesn’t mean there isn’t anything, but it either wasn’t serious enough to be surfaced, or nobody more knowledgeable than me has looked.
- velcrovan 2y agoBecause its continued existence has been in grave doubt for years? I was a heavy Flickr user, but when Yahoo sold it to SmugMug in 2018, I basically assumed it was going to be either merged out of distinct existence or shuttered. I downloaded an archive of all my stuff and stopped using it altogether. Because what’s the point of using a platform that’s so obviously no longer viable…was my thinking at the time. I would never have guessed it would remain alive this long but it’s still not anything I would want to invest time in or rely on anymore.
