Instagram has an explore tab but it\u2019s popular music and tv stars and their dogs or it\u2019s brand advertising-driven shots cooked up to sell something. There\u2019s something so completely boring about Instagram\u2019s explore page that makes me ignore it and go back to my friend feeds, whereas Flickr is the opposite: my friend feed is largely silent, but the best of the best page is truly awe-inspiring and at least one photo each day is going to take my breath away.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019ve been a Flickr Pro subscriber since 2005. That\u2019s around $300 I\u2019ve spent but today, Flickr hosts 25,000 of my favorite photos. When I scroll through 150,000 photos on my Mac\u2019s Photos application, it\u2019s everything. Flick is my favorite work and it\u2019s addictive.<\/p>\n<p>The Flickr community is much smaller than it once was but there are people who mean to be there. Once a service is no longer cool, those that really want to be there are the most passionate and amazing users. They know Snap, Facebook and Twitter aren\u2019t photo services. Flickr has remained insulated from Yahoo! I hope the new ownership doesn\u2019t kill it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Medium: Another reason I love Flickr\u2019s Explore page is that it lacks the commercialism of other spaces.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-06-30T12:50:53Z","apple_news_api_id":"47532a7c-b0de-4f94-bc3d-6a3a7686a1d3","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-06-30T12:50:55Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AR1MqfLDeT5S8PWo6doah0w","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1N1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6786,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2017\/04\/24\/linked-the-white-house-flickr-account-just-changed-hands-from-obama-to-trump\/","url_meta":{"origin":6883,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;The White House Flickr Account Just Changed Hands from Obama to Trump&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 24, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"via PetaPixel: If and when Trump does appoint a White House photographer, the Flickr account is waiting for him.
