God; Flickr. Used to use it regularly and liked it. Until, when was it, around 2014 or so. Some millennial in head office had to justify their high-paying desk job, as they always eventually do, by changing things that were perfectly functional and aesthetically pleasing to irritating dysfunctionality that looked like some mobile phone app for 12-year olds, and was set out to function as if it was a mobile phone, swipey app for 12-year olds, and I'm talking about the desktop website. So, suddenly, it was an irritating mess that looked like crap, was slow as hell and had impaired functionality.Then they changed it again, I think the following year, except they just changed the visuals again to look like a slightly different mobile phone app, without restoring functionality and aesthetics that had been present before they wrecked it the previous year. And it was now filled with ads, which is always good.So it has remained in this irritating, derelict state. "Oath" or some crap has bought it - whoopee-doo, it'll probably get worse.The basic functionality has remained mostly the same, for which a 1-star rating may seem harsh, but as a photography website aesthetics and presentation are important, and they píssed off a whole lot of users when they changed something that nothing was wrong with in the first place, made it a visual and navigatory mess, messed with functions and filled it with ads. There was an attempted exodus to ipernity but it never really caught on as it should have.Moral - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.Yahoo exec - if it ain't broke, change everything to look like a mobile phone game. And ads. Lots of ads.
