A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Is Flickr Still Useful? (alien.top)

I would like to post photos on a site that is accessible to others but that is A) somewhat respectful of personal information (i.e. nothing owned by Facebook); and B) is not too silly looking (Imgur). Is there any good option, or is Flickr still worthwhile? I don't mind if the site charges a reasonable fee. Thank you.

Flickr used to be good. I have tons of photo there. But since March this year, I cannot upload photos via the Web interface on my PC where I do all my editing. Neither does the Flickr uploader program work. I have to transfer my photos to Android phone and then upload from there. I am not the only one suffering from this upload issue. There are plenty of complaints in the Flickr group. Flickr Web interface is broken and slow to refresh. The sad thing is that Flickr do nothing about it. Think twice before you put your photos there.
