BOYCOTT flickr!!!!

Flickr is a bunch of incredibly insensitive and rude creeps. That is putting it nicely. Wish I could go uncensored here. And post a link to the incredibly sickening and violent photo that they refuse to take down from their cover sign in page. Underage kids see that and they are more hung up on nudity than violent images against animals. They should be shut down. Complain to them, and they delete your account and insult you first. They get ugly and personal. Like I said, NO ONE should use this horrible service. Put them OUT of business. It seems that they are about to go out of business judging from the 75% negative ratings that they have. They are the worst! We can and must do it. They will learn then not to abuse people and exploit animals. Boycott flickr.

Have been on Flickr since 2006

Have been on Flickr since 2006, always with a pro account and have always found it to be a great platform. It is intuitive to use, displays images well and has many good features. You get what you pay for and if people pay nothing expect less- Flickr isn't a not-for-profit organisation nor should it be expected to be so!

I have been a member of Flickr since…

I have been a member of Flickr since 2007. I sent them a message about a problem with my account in January. They replied a month later but just asking if I still had the problem. I replied that I did but have not hears anything since.

An absolute nightmare.

Honestly horrible platform. I have 100g of photos on this website and I am current moving them all off by downloading 110, 1gb zip folders, 6 at a time. Almost lost all of my pictures because of their new policy that I got no notification of. If you want to keep you precious memories safe, do not use flikr.Reached out to customer service twice over the span of 2 months and still have nor gotten a response.

Uploading Issues and No Support from Anyone

I have a pro account which apparently comes with “priority support” but I have been reaching out repeatedly about an uploading issue and NO ONE has had the decency to get back to me for weeks. We are having trouble uploading pictures and getting no help from anyone. Don’t get Flickr Pro ever.

Potential, but beware

Totally agree with the recent comments. You can't offer something then remove it with the added bonus of a penalty. Fair enough charge users to continue using the service which could be great, but to threaten deletion of potential memories in lieu of payment is callous and cold. I don't really want to pay for a service that would do that to someone.

Flickr holds you to ransom.

Wow! No I mean WOW! Yeah, I've known this was coming for a few months but I still find it an absolutely gobsmackingly terrible decision. So, some time ago you decided to offer 1TB of free space to upload our pictures to your wonderful site. Millions took you up on this amazing offer, I took you up on this amazing offer, migrating from a paid for sharing and back up service. I have 28,988 photos in my account. I don't consider myself a happy snapper, so I'm sure there are people out there with many thousands more. Today I got your email, an email that says if I now don't upgrade to your new pro scheme and pay, my treasured memories will be deleted. Lost, gone! How many people will find time to re-download their images back to their computers? You are now holding peoiple to ransom and it's just not right. Your argument will be that "We gave you notice". With almost 30,000 photos in my account I need more notice than a couple of months, as I only knew about this in November 2018. For me this is the final nail in the coffin. I will not be upgrading and will move to the now superior Google Photos. I believe you have been enstrusted with people's important life events and memories and to behave in this fashion is down right immoral. I've been to my Flickr account today and requested my download data again. I did do this before but you have now removed the links to the zip files, which is an odd thing to do when you are making people pay or move. So I now need to do this again and I'm hoping in the meantime, while I wait for the links, you don't delete my precious data.

Flickr Ruined My Blog

Flickr, how do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.I used Flickr to link to photos in my blog. BAD IDEA. First, they didn't have the basic tools like making a collage that Google Photos had but they offered 1 tb free, so we hopped on board. We also didn't like the way the photos linked in the blog. But, we thought, OK, we'll use it for now, and maybe change it when we finish traveling.A couple of months later, Flickr "announces" the 1000 images policy. Very quietly. I almost missed it. So now, we have to go through our blog and figure out which to delete and which to keep. We are traveling in a developing country, and don't have access to the internet on a regular basis. We are on an island. So we rush and do the best we can, we had so much there from our travels. Yes, we stupidly didn't have a backup, but were planning to do that when we got back in around 9 months. Well, we accidentally deleted many of the photos from the blog. It was difficult to keep track, and in our flurry to try to save some, we lost many. We should have backed up. We could have paid Flickr their extortion money. But we didn't. We thought we could trust them while travelling. This is not technically Flickr's fault, but the short window in which we had to work and being on an island made it suck. Flickr made it really hard to tell which photos were linked to the blog and which weren't. The public or private didn't work for us because all of our photos are public. So my biggest beef with the company is that they told us we had 1 tb, then renegged, but didn't give us adequate time, and we almost missed the notice it was so, let's say, discrete. We could keep our stuff if we paid them, which we couldn't do on principle. We already didn't like them.So, Flickr, I really despise you. My blog is ruined and it is to a large degree because I used your "service". I think Flickr will fail, but hopefully a more trustworthy and honest company will fill the niche. I don't know how anyone can use this service with confidence after this type of a move. It's a terrible way to treat your customers.

How not to treat your customers

I had a Pro account before all the changes but they are now taking it away if I don't pay them money and will start deleting my photos. Just not a reputable company any more. I am storing my photos for free elsewhere now. Will not be using Flickr anymore and suggest any serious photographer doesn't either.
