![]() I know from experience because people that I have come to know primarily through this app, have all been deleted at the same exact time due to these “glitches” by Flickr (in reality, Flickr is deleting them on purpose because these people are seen as unimportant). It creates a huge inconvenience to these people and can cut off their communication and cost them their photos. There are glitches such as people’s accounts getting deleted completely and being replaced with a ghost account with a randomly generated name and deletes all pictures, comments, faves, follows, and any possible trace of said person. ![]() But there are many things that are on the Flickr website that desperately need to be added to the app. I love this app and it’s a great way to make friends and post photos. I was one of the many complainers during the final years of Yahoo, but I'm more grateful than ever to have this platform and for the new life that you've given it. Thank you, Flickr and SmugMug, for preserving this platform, for all the technical and UX improvements you've been making, and for trying keep this place pure and focused on photography. ![]() If Instagram is a shopping mall, Flickr is an art gallery + photo meet-up. No algorithms shoving targeted content down your throat, no influencers hawking essential oils and watches, no trending videos or stories to boost DAU metrics, and for Pro members, NO ADS - just the talented, weird, serious, imaginative, beginner or veteran photographers and groups that you choose to follow. If you're looking for a place where the features, users, and community, are focused on photography (not influencing and marketing), Flickr is that place. I've been a Flickr user since 2006 and a Pro member for almost as long, and I'll be a Pro member for as long as Flickr supports this community! While I'm also an avid user of Instagram, the difference in purpose and focus between Instagram and Flickr is so clear. The last great platform for specifically photographersįlickr is the last real platform for the photography community (and for other creators).
