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.

    I’ve been on since 2005. I didn’t post anything for years but recently got back on. I’m finding it pretty enjoyable so far, but it feels lonely sometimes, like uploading photos into the void.

      Good points; it has a void-ish feel to it, but it’s interesting how many people are on it and how many people use it according to these answers. When I just re-signed up, it feels a bit like it’s been left alone by its owners.

        One feature of Flickr I really like is the “camera finder”. It basically lets you see what cameras are popular, but more importantly it shows you the “interesting” pics taken with each camera. Browsing this thing has to be one of the best anti-GAS measures in existence, at least when it comes to buying new camera bodies. You can compare popular photos from the latest whiz-bang top of the line cameras to photos from whatever outdated clunker you have and see that they just aren’t any better. At all.

        In this era that’s pretty much the best one can hope for anyway. Meanwhile, every other major site is getting worse on purpose in order to “increase engagement” AKA waste your time trying to find what you want.
