Flickr Arvostelua 272

Ffs stop asking for data/cookie permission when logging in on mobile. Your site is a pain in the arse. Pages and pages of crap sites you want to share my data with. The answer is NO.

COME ON YOU BUNCH OF NUMPTIES, GROW A PAIR AND GIVE A REPLY !!
STOP AVOIDING YOUR INCOMPETENCE AND OWN UP ?

Membre de cette plateforme depuis septembre 2020 (bientôt 6 ans) en version gratuite, j'ai vu les services gratuits devenir de plus en plus limités. Aujourd'hui, on m'a suspendu mon compte pour des photos publiées il y a plus de 4 ans et qui, soit disant, ne respectent pas les conditions d'utilisation du site. On me propose la version payante pour débloquer mon compte et garder mes photos... Je laisse tomber ! Fuyez !

What a anoying site man, every 3 pics I get an ad or have to wait, I have to pay to piecefully scroll through an album nowadays ? come on.

TAKING THE WEEWEE!
PAY TO REMOVE ADVERTS AND SAVE THE PLANET ?
BUNCH OF THIEVING CLOWNS

Impossible to log on with 100s of cookie and advertising settings in the way. Tried many times and now I've given up. Appears that the site wants to collect all your data and won't let you log in until you give permission for everything. Plenty of other free sites that are far better than flickr.

New requirement to have a pro account to view mature account is greedy. I've been a member for 20 years and don't think I'll use Flickr any more.

Pretty useless really. If its not crashing / locking up there are adverts popping up all the time.

Used to enjoy Flickr, but the rules have changed. It's blackmail if I want to see all my German friends' photos need a pro account.

Honestly the worst photo share website on the planet
1 issues with photos being not allowed under their rules
2 continuously getting UI our account deleted
Loosing all your photos - without explanation
3 massive cost 20 usd per month
4 this company will go bust us they don’t
Understand their customers
5 recently got hacked with all your details
Now being used on the dark web
Go elsewhere my advise

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.

Slow, tedious, outdated.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.

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,

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 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.

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 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 !!

Bien contente que cette plateforme existe, malgré tous les défauts qu'on lui reproche à mon avis une des seules qui donnent à voir un large panel de photos en tous genre, avec des autant de puristes que de personnes utilisant les techniques actuelles, toutes techniques confondues, la variété de photo est impressionnante, avec une protection des copyrights et une facilité incroyable de pouvoir stocker et partager un grand nombre de photos gratuitement, l'abonnement reste accessible si on le prend au cours de promotion. Je l'utilise depuis 2010.

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!

Que le compte gratuit soit devenu limité, soit. Mais que l'on vous oblige à télécharger vos propres photos excédentaires non pas dans leurs résolution d'origine mais en 1024 px, c'est de l'arnaque pure et simple. Ou de la vente forcée pour un compte pro. Je n'ai pas plus de respect pour cette plateforme qu'ils n'en ont pour nos photos...
