This is exciting! I've long believed that Flickr should have doubled down on their existing users instead of trying to become another Instagram.
A longtime fan of Flickr, MacAskill says before making any decisions, he plans to collect feedback from employees and users.
Hey Don - I used to pay money for Flickr, and I'm happy to start paying again if there is evidence of forward motion. I want to have a place to securely store my RAW files in addition to my edited photographs, and I want to see a focus on community again.

Very excited for this. It's quite disappointing to see the one/only popular photo sharing app (instagram) work so hard to restrict usage to phone apps.
Sometimes you want to share photos from a non-phone camera, or look at photos on your computer screen.
Oh wow! I'm cautiously optimistic that Flickr can be brought back from the dead. I loved Flickr's platform to share my photos and find other photographers to follow and get inspiration from.
