    Flickr is full of attention whores who game the algorithms and crowd out everyone else. It's disgusting.

  2. Christopher Harris says

    I use Amazon Prime for all my photo backup. Pretty good.

  3. Thaifoonthaiger says

    Flickr: upload all your photos for free
    Me: thanks, I will. Here are 13,000 images
    6 years later
    Flickr: pay us loads of money or we will delete all your images

  4. mahal holiday says

    Let’s say you payed for Flickr pro and got over 1000 photos. Then the year is almost over and you have to pay again. If you forget to pay will they delete all your photos so that you can have 1000 again or will they just stop you from uploading? Or if I cancel my subscription will they automatically delete my photos? Can someone please answer this question for me?

  5. Thsiscool says

    So, I've been out of the loop. What websites are good for showing off a portfolio? People say that Flickr is old and such? Photobucket? etc? etc? (I would, then, link one of these websites to popular apps like Instagram to show off)

  6. Trance88 says

    I really liked flickr before all this bullcrap of having to pay 50 bucks a month if your profile has more than 1000 photos. I dunno how they think its ok to go from 1 TERABYTE!!!!!! of storage to less than a damn gigabite for free users. I'm quitting Flickr.

  7. gasbike100mpg says

    offering 1TB and then pulling the rug, is no way to conduct business, bad move. You cannot trust Flickr, they will most likely do this again with their paid accounts………..so get out now.

    Hi Jared. Wonder if you could answer a Q for me please. I opened a Flickr account in August 2018, but I Never uploaded any photos to that account, and as of today(6th Feb 2019) my account states that I have zero of 1000 photos uploaded….so if I close that Flickr account does that mean there are no photos to be lost…? Thanks very much.

  10. Marcohazard says

    At least I still have Google Photos, Facebook, MyFigureCollection and Imgur…

  11. Transport & Simulation Hub says

    Flickr really does suck now as it started off with the stupid 30/60 limit for the groups and now a 1000 image limit for non-pro users. Well they can go and fuck themselves and i hope they go bust. There are better alternatives without these stupid limits.

    I have been using Flickr for a long time since 2014 and loyalty doesn't mean shit to these greedy bastards. Any more limitations and Flickr may as well just close. I am not going to be forced to pay when my budget is tight enough as it is.

  12. Nicolas Martin says

    Adding insult to injury, the Flickr Roku app is ancient and horrible.

  13. Martin Fuge says

    When I found out about this when they emailed me I was straight onto my account to remove all my images and then stopped using the site. I gladly stuck my fingers up to them for these changes as was bad enough when the amount of groups you could post to was capped for free users. Just another way of a company to try and get money out of people, and seems funny that they put the price of the pro up as they know people may go pro to keep their photos. Well screw you SmugMug and Flickr, I know plenty of people who have deleted their accounts and even people on pro accounts leaving you.

  14. Josh Morgan says

    this shit is what freaks everyone out about cloud storage.

  15. Charlie D says

    I only have 350 pictures loaded on Flickr.
    Today I tried to load photos from my desktop and this message appeared:
    "Uh oh! You've reached the 1000 item upload limit."

    Loading through my smartphone APP works fine.

  16. AlexGRFan97 says

    Oh and that's not all,

    they've now announced that they will delete accounts wholesale due to "inactivity", which means even if your account had under the 1,000 photo limit, if you don't touch it in a while all your progress will go kaput anyway. So millions more images are going to be deleted regardless.

  17. Debo N says

    Hi Jared ! If you think Flickr is not interesting, which app we should use ?

  18. idkhello says

    Imagine his hair after he shower before it dries

  19. Lord Kambing says

    That catalog company is a fucking middle man that greed on money. Lol, flickr? uploading is for amateurs. Real photographers prints on silver halide.

  20. GamingTV says

    seriously? $1500 lens and can't even shoot 4k at 60fps? this must be one of those i want my money back lenses

  21. Kurt R. O. says

    Flickr has Porn and Pedophilia problem too.
    Edit: forgot a word

  22. Brian Morris says

    it cost us 7000 to produce but you pay 20 bucks

  23. kenx0124 says

    Apparently…..they arent the only ones screwing over photographers.
    Squarespace is as well.

  24. Guije Sanchez says

    Perhaps this is a fantastic way for Flickr to gain its new Renaissance to come back better than ever, I wouldn't mind pay for the PRO package if it means one of my favorite photography websites remains active for a long while.

  25. Jo Milton says

    I had over 6500 amateur pics of events, places, scenes of nature. I considered the new charge. I considered the fact that the maximum views on any of my pics was about 100. I deleted my Flickr account and closed my Yahoo email. It wasn't worth it. I'm not looking for a new home for my pics. Free storage is going to vanish. Imageshack, Photobucket, Flickr – the writing is on the wall.

  26. StevieRayPhoto says

    Im not even watching this video, but flikr is stupid. The end.

  27. Chop Suey Stuey says

    I'm one of the 20 people still using Flickr but now looking to jump ship, what are people using now?

  28. Straight Out of Camera says

    The worrying part is not stupid flickr, but this "Catalog" thing. The same happened in the translations industry, and although such initial schemes didn't work, they sparked the appetite of legitimate agencies which reduced rates to translators by half! Right now, we' re at 40% of what we used to get paid, while the end-client gets no discount. Client and producer are punished, the intermediate parasite gets most of the fee!

  29. I ditched Flickr years ago, I do like it for the camera finder feature though, if I’m thinking of upgrading I search the camera on the camera finder and find photos I like then check out the settings and lens combos that work best…. other than that 😂

  30. Rodney Tyler says

    The title says they screw photographers but you recognize it's still a great value and have chosen to stay with them. Why are you putting them on blast then choosing to stay with their service?

  31. Aamir Bilal says

    Your video was there. I was watching the ads when your video popped up for a little time. I wish there were some ads in between your hair too.

  32. Linas Vaičiukynas says

    The only thing that flickr is good because of the image quality that it provides. But it will change sooner or later, more and more platforms will start offering the same quality. It is just a matter of time.

  33. Henri de Feraudy says

    Funny!

  34. Dominic Hanna says

    deleted my Flickr account the moment SmugMug bought it. It's been dead to me for almost a year now.

  35. Frank G. says

    @ 1:24 YN “let the cat 🐱 out of the kitchen?” Whatever could you mean Fro?

  36. pennsylvaniaphotographer says

    Hey does Flickr support Raw files by chance? Could not find anything mentioning that.

  37. Jeffrey J says

    Oh no, Flickr is charging $1 per week for unlimited Full-Res photo storage? That's outrageous! If anyone thinks that's too much money for cloud storage, they're not serious enough. Move alone, nothing to see here.

  38. Thomas Photography says

    Jared you are a bloody legend!

  39. pop pop says

    At least they aren't selling our data…

  40. Art says

    Flickr… 😂 😂 😂

  41. Walt B says

    I like the mic. Maybe you can try it out in one of you videos. Thanks. Concerning flickr, I just opened a free account so I can follow photographers I like. But, I probably won't post very many pictures myself.

  42. ChicagoScanner says

    Fuck Flickr/Smugmug

  43. Kirk Nra says

    I don’t see why some people are crying …. anyone with an IQ over 30 knew that there would be some kind of fee at some point. Nothing is FREE.

  44. Phil Sim says

    You look like you time travelled from the 80's
