#2This is exciting! I've long believed that Flickr should have doubled down on their existing users instead of trying to become another Instagram.

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.

Totally agree, I used to pay Flickr for years, but stopped paying a while back. Would be happy to pay again if I can store original files there.

#4Very 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.

Rooting for you flickr!

#6Oh 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.
C'mon SmugMug!
