Flickr going down the same path as Tumblr
So they finally send me an email about their new policy "to make the community safer to browse". No more NSFW images unless I sign up for a paid account. WTF? Have these goons not read the tech news on Tumblr? Not only that, they now (correct me if I am wrong) have ads when browsing photos unless you have a paid account. Let me offer a bit of advice for these idiotards; it should be like...you can browse and see all the NSFW images only if you have a paid account. People will pay to see sex, no one will pay to see someone's dog or cat. Especially when users are supplying the contents, why kill the contents makers and dig a grave together with Tumblr? As I have always said, you can have a college education and still be a dumb ass. Nothing can illustrate that better than this. Apr 19 22 03:42 pm Link This is the official Flickr spin. It sure sounds like they are doing it for your own good and a royal cause. Yeah right.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIQOo6W … a0UlO-yJgr Apr 19 22 03:58 pm Link Paid can post anything. ANYTHING! I keep reporting child nudes in galleries that some of my images occasionally get faved up with. Sometimes they do something and sometimes they don't recognize I asked. They could start there... but no. Still as for a Tumbler comparison, They are not using robots to end nudes even when not nudes like some sites I could mention. Just a nudes for free thing.....for now Edited to add. Paid seems to filter any reason to worry about a contents morality. Apr 19 22 08:12 pm Link Didn't even know Flicker was still around... Try posting on Kavyar, Behance or Twitter Apr 19 22 08:21 pm Link Chuckarelei wrote: You can still view, just can't keep existing or upload NSFW. ...they now (correct me if I am wrong) have ads when browsing photos unless you have a paid account. It's been that way for a while. Beginning May 1, 2022, Flickr will start enforcing our recently-announced Free account changes regarding Restricted and Moderate content. Apr 20 22 09:47 am Link A common exchange- model: you want me to give your nude for free? flakr: no, you have to pay us to give us the nude. Unbelievable, eh? Apr 20 22 07:40 pm Link So it's no point asking an outsider to view your flickr website if they cannot see ur NSFW images. Apr 22 22 01:25 am Link Bah! Lets add the already irrelevant Pinterest car to the crazy train. Got this last night. Haven't used it in years. I did something wrong except it turns out I didn't do anything wrong but if I do it again I will be deleted. Aand we are not going to show you which image caused all the confusion. Great guys-lets stay in touch. Except no I'm deleting you. Hi Randy, Recently, we removed one of your Pins for violation of our guidelines on adult content. After a review of our decision, we've decided to reinstate your Pin, but please take some time to go through your Pins and remove any that may be in violation of our Community Guidelines. These rules apply to all Pins, including ones on your secret boards. If we notice more Pins that conflict with our Community Guidelines, we may take additional action on your account. Thanks, The Pinterest Team Apr 22 22 07:54 am Link alantan-fotography wrote: No. Do not need a paid account to view NSFW images, just to post them. Apr 22 22 08:40 am Link From a business (in this case, legal) standpoint it makes sense. Forcing people who post NSFW images to have paid accounts means that flickr knows who they are and can identify them to third parties. If you don’t understand why they would want that, you have not been paying attention the past several years about attempts to regulate/control certain content online. Apr 22 22 08:44 am Link You will never see NSFW images on either of those sites because I don’t use them.

Jun 20 22 12:39 pm Link Had paid Flickr account for several years. Have not nor do I intend removing anything. FYI: Smug Mug owns Flickr. You want some cheese........... 99k all time views.

I searched for your user name and only found nonpublic images/ galleries.
