Slow outdated

Slow, tedious, outdated. It’s like using a website from 1990. The map function is not any better than when Yahoo owned Flickr many years ago. Customer help only directs you to the useless help pages. The good thing is it sometimes works well but not often enough. Been a customer since 2010 and probably will not renew.

Too many ads, Pro subscription not as advertised

After being constantly bombarded with aggressive ads and pop-ups, I tried getting a pro account.Problem is, by UK law, you have to have a credit card to verify your age to access adult content or the content will be limited.As a man in his late sixties, I don't really care about adult content but I do care about not being given the choice unless I have a credit card and not the debit card with which they took my money. I dislike being nannied like this, so have requested a refund. I know Flickr has to comply with UK law but I am annoyed that this was not made clear before they took my money.So now I will be stuck with these aggressive ads, banners, and pop-ups. Used to be a fun, community-minded, site but I'm not feeling it any more,

They bombard you with advertising

They bombard you with advertising. Women's lingerie?? Sado Mascist underwear? Then they expect you to "go pro" and give them a donation! They'll be making loads on their adverts. You name it they advertise it. "Go pro"? No thanks.

It Has Worked Brilliantly for Me for Years

Sad to see so many poor reviews and I have to say some look dubious.I had all sorts of problems with PhotoBucket, so I switched to Flickr almost a decade ago and have barely looked back. Can hardly remember a major problem with the Flickr site. I admit I did initially push back at paying the fee for the Pro Version when they restricted the storage on the free version, but to be honest it's a fair price for what it gives me.I can access my pictures anywhere in the world, like carrying all my photo albums on the phone.The management of photos is excellent. You only have to upload a picture once, but I particularly like being able to have the same photo in several albums, and then those albums can be in more than one collection. So for example, I can have an album for a ski trip and that album can be in the collection for the year and also in another collection for all ski trips. I happen to have an album of pictures of sunsets, sunrises and pretty skies, so a sunset picture taken on a ski trip can also be viewed in that album.

after cancel the pro account flickr…

after cancel the pro account flickr freeze me out creating issues to lock the account.It's a method pushing free member to a pro account and only spending money member get treated with a proper support.I was on flickr to share my creative work over years since it get expensive now. I'm not support this money-grubbing provider anymore.I went to 500px, better and competent.

Flickr Has Gone Way Downhill

I've been on Flickr for over a decade, since the golden days when it was genuinely the best place for serious artists. A part of me will always love what it used to be: the incredible community of film photographers from around the world sharing great work as well as the discussions, the groups, the sense of discovery. That Flickr felt special.But today's Flickr? It's actively repelling everyone with an endless stream of anti-user nonsense. They make the site unfriendly to ad blockers (good luck browsing without constant interruptions or broken functionality unless you pay up), they've gutted the free version even further with ridiculous restrictions that make it barely usable for anyone who isn't shelling out for Pro, they've ramped up heavy-handed censorship and content moderation that feels arbitrary and punishing and, worst of all, they've started banning or suspending accounts for mutual exchange of messages on what is supposed to be a social platform.It's turned into a complete shit show and circus. The platform that once celebrated photography now seems designed to frustrate and nickel-and-dime its longtime users while driving away new ones.The support team is atrociously horrible (the absolute worst I've dealt with on any similar or competing platform). You will wait 2–3 days for a canned, copy-paste response that rarely actually solves anything. No real help, no accountability, just robotic deflection.I still have some attachment to the old Flickr that lives in my memories, but the current reality is unacceptable.Ownership and team: thanks for ruining something that once was great. Sincerely, the photography community.

Flickr is good for showing photos to…

Flickr is good for showing photos to other people and there can be a nice community feeling among photographers !But there are many technical issues like the search engine not showing many photos or even not finding photos or people ( even when entering everything absolutely correctly) ! And many internet search engines like Opera are not very well supported and that can cause issues ( for example the bell symbol showing someone left a comment on your photo however the comment is not visible). Even with Google, which Flickr said is fully supported, these problems persist.And theses issues happen even with a Pro account. All this makes Flickr far less enjoyable now compared to a few years ago !!

Do not use Flickr

Do not use Flickr. It is a scam. It is a literal legal trap. They have partnered with an enforcement agency that ruthlessly pursues anyone who makes the slightest technical breach of their usage terms. Beware!

I've been using Flickr since 2006 - it's gotten 287% more expensive with decrease in features

I've been using Flickr since 2006. I've been a PRO member for a long time - however, when I look at my history payment back in 2015 - when I was paying $44.95 (roughly £32) for a 2 year.In Apr 2025 it cost a whopping £111.84 - so 3.2 times more expensive. An absurd rise. But not only that, Flickr quality has declined over the years. I haven't gotten anything worth the insane subscription price increase. Servers are slow and glitchy and the public forums have all been disabled. I can't post new questions nor can I reply to old threads, they all seem to be have been locked.SO FLICKR USERS ARE BEING SILENCED. We can't interact inside the platform anymore. Funny as the prices increased that feature was disabled. Because all the loyal longer term users were pissed off at how they were treating us.To add insult to injury I have just seen that new users get charged £99 for 2 year subscription but my is going up to £124?!?!??!?!?!? That's a 287.5% price increase. Absolutely shameful.Shame on you, Flickr management. You greedy people. You don't care about usability or user satisfaction.
