FlickrProtest

Flickr used to provide a facility for photographers to quickly and easily upload, comment and fave the work of others. As such it helped create a community of creative people who could share, experiment and learn from each other.

Recent changes have made this very difficult and time consuming to do - what was a joy, has become a chore. The proposed changes are going to make this even more difficult.

I for one have remained simply because I have made a big investment in posting and commenting on photographs - and more importantly - in building relationships with other photographers, whose friendship, support and comments have helped me develop and made the flickr experience such a joy.

However, the spirit of flickr is being eroded as it becomes nothing more that a glorified picture gallery. I do not understand why flickr cannot have it's picture gallery to share with the outside world, while allowing photographers, who are the heart and soul of flickr, to do what they need to do.

So flickr, pay attention, I am protesting because I care, but the message your are giving, is that you have a new business model, and want us to go.
