He added: “Yahoo lost sight of what makes Flickr truly special and responded to a changing landscape in online photo sharing by giving every Flickr user a staggering terabyte of free storage.”įlickr says just three per cent of free users have more than 1,000 photos stored on the site. “This caused a significant tonal shift in our platform, away from the community interaction and exploration of shared interests that makes Flickr the best shared home for photographers in the world.” “The free terabyte largely attracted members who were drawn by the free storage, not by engagement with other lovers of photography,” Mr Stadlen wrote in a blogpost.
