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).
