Leaving Flickr

Flickr sad

This morning, I said goodbye to Flickr.

It’s sad, really. For years, I spent tons of time on Flickr. I added photos, wrote comments, joined groups and made friends.

No one I used to interact with is there anymore. I don’t upload large photo sets anymore. I don’t visit groups anymore, or read comments or favorite things.

I’m not sure why any of this happened. Sure, things like Instagram helped drive the stake deeper into Flickr’s heart, but Yahoo’s lack of concern with what is its best product is unsettling at best.

Farewell, friend. You’ll be missed. Sorta.
