Flickr Description
Currently, SmugMug and Flickr serve as invaluable platforms for photographers looking to safeguard, showcase, and monetize their images. Whether someone is an occasional smartphone enthusiast or a seasoned professional in portrait photography, we equip them with the pivotal resources necessary for enhancing their abilities, expanding their audience, and increasing their revenue. Our mission is to facilitate the sharing of photographs with those who hold significance in people's lives. Some may wish to curate a blog documenting moments captured on their mobile devices, while others might aspire to display their finest shots or videos to gain recognition in the digital realm. Additionally, there are those who prefer to share cherished images of their children privately with family members living far away. Flickr enables all of these possibilities and much more! To achieve this, we strive to ensure that photos and videos can be uploaded and downloaded through a multitude of channels: whether it’s through the web, mobile gadgets, personal computers, or any software that users prefer to manage their visual content. This versatility helps us cater to the diverse needs of our users.

Probably still the best but going downhill... Date: Jan 21 2023
Summary: Still a very engaging site once you have "met" other genuine photo photographers and appreciative viewers – though these are declining in response to changes made over the last 5 years.
Positive: Wide international membership; significant (but declining) proportion of photographers vs. just viewers; organisation of photos into subject-interest groups, set up and controlled by members; inclusive of NSFW photos; availability of stats on viewing of your photos (but recently become unreliable); still some community spirit; generally helpful and responsive admins.
Negative: Slow and fluctuating loading of pages, especially "notifications"; shift towards it becoming a photo storage rather than exhibition / discussion site; poor layouts requiring scrolling through almost full-size images rather than quickly-loading thumbnail pages; bizarre decision to charge contributing photographers rather than "consumer" viewing members with no on-site reward for successful / popular images; resulting from this, a growing commercialisation and use by professional glamour / porn photographers to market their work elsewhere rather than by amateur enthusiasts who would be delighted with small rewards by the site to recognise their work. (I understand this shift in business model is based on advertising / marketing but it is a big negative from the site experience point of view)
