I joined Flickr in 2012. When the site was owned and operated by Yahoo it was great. I always paid as a pro member and used the service primarily as a backup for my photos. 35,000 images, mainly set to private (as I don't want holiday snaps, pics of my kids, etc drifting around the internet) and could happily share a few pics with family members or friends if I so desired. As I'm a keen amateur photographer, I kept around 1500 photos public to show off as I also enjoyed the social aspect of the site. Flickr was bought out earlier in 2019 and is now owned by SmugMug. They changed servers earlier in the year resulting in downtime for certain features, which have never been brought back online. It's been several months since I saw the fantastic "Camera Roll" feature that I used regularly to sort the photos out. The servers seem slower to process information and the whole site a lot more clunky. However, I'm absolutely moving away from them after I discovered that some very intimate photos of my partner were sitting on my public feed despite being set to private. Deleted them from the site altogether, but somehow anyone (embarrasingly including family or friends looking at linked photos from Facebook) looking at my public profile could still see them and the view count below the pics kept going up. Deleted all public photos now which seems to have removed them from view, and I will be moving to another platform as soon as I've downloaded all my data. Will not be back. Avoid at all costs. :-(
