Happy 22nd year, Flickr!

https://blog.flickr.net/2026/02/10/22-years-of-flickr/

Flickr is celebrating its 22nd birthday with some data: https://blog.flickr.net/2026/02/10/22-years-of-flickr/ Interesting that the Most Used Cameras of 2025 is nearly evenly split between cameras and phones, and with many brands represented, showing the platform’s diverse user base.

The Seceda in the Dolomites is known for its rugged ridges and steep slopes on the north side. On the other side, there are pastures all the way up to the ridge. In the past, farm animals grazed up here. Now, it is mainly hikers and tourists who graze on the ridge, enjoying the fantastic views and photo opportunities.

I think Flickr is basically dead for most people.

It used to be a photo-centric social platform. Now it’s just a shrinking paywall.

Photographers are forced to stay on Pro forever if they’ve ever uploaded sensitive content — otherwise their accounts will be banned outright. This is retroactive punishment, not a feature.

At the same time, non-Pro users can only let visitors download low-res images

Flickr has also stripped away what made it special: even basic camera metadata (shutter speed, aperture, ISO) is no longer shown by default.

No real pro upgrades. Just worse experiences, erased content, and pay-to-survive rules.

Datenleck bei Flickr

Der kommerzielle Bilder-Speicher #Flickr meldet ein Datenleck. Die Schwachstelle habe bei einem externen Dienstleister für E-Mail gelegen. Der Dienstleister wird nicht genannt, aber mir fällt sofort #Yahoo ein. Erstens hat Yahoo Flickr erst 2018 verkauft; es ist gut denkbar, dass noch Reste der Technik von Yahoo abgewickelt werden. Zweitens hat Yahoo reichlich Erfahrung mit Datenlecks. Damals wurden nicht nur die Daten der drei Milliarden Yahoo-Nutzer/innen geleckt, sondern auch die sämtlicher Nutzer/innen von Flickr. Das gehörte damals zu Yahoo. Nichts gelernt.
