Flickr may close if it fails to get multiple users to sign up for Flickr Pro

Images are one of the most important things in our day and day. Everyone is able to take great pictures with the development of the lenses and sensors of our devices. Flickr was born as a network of photographers. In 2018 it was to be bought by SmugMug, a photography company, due to the ongoing losses it suffered. Few hours ago, Flickr complained for users to sign up for Flickr Pro or a company would go to close it due to the huge financial loss and lack of liquidity.

& # 39; Flickr not only have to stay but succeed & # 39;

In 2018, SmugMug bought Flickr and did innumerable advances

such as bringing all content to an Amazon Web Services server or completely removing access to Yahoo! All the progress and progress made since the arrival of the new CEO has worked to improve communication with the public. However, Money loss is too high to keep Flickr. And this is the problem. In a letter to users, the current CEO says they bought Flickr because they love photography and it would be a mistake to lose tens of millions of photos hosted on social media.

We didn't buy Flickr because we thought it was a way to make money. Unlike platforms like Facebook, we also do not buy you to attack your privacy and sell your data. We bought it because we love photographers, we love pho tography and we believe Flickr not only has to survive but to succeed.

We believe the world agrees; and we believe the Flickr community does. But we will not continue to work as lost as they used to.

This book is a call for suffering for loyal users who continue to enjoy social interaction every day. They asked Flickr Pro registration It's on sale for $ 5 a month. This subscription lets you browse without ads, advanced stats, unlimited storage of high quality, premium brands and access to the largest photo-focused community in the world. In the book, they say if we are willing to pay more than $ 9 for services like Spotify or Netflix, why not invest in image maintenance?

You may have to pay for services like Netflix and Spotify for at least $ 9 a month. I love these services, and I'm a happy paying customer, but they don't keep their priceless photos safe and allow them to share with the most important people in their world.

Flickr itself, and Flickr Pro subscriptions cost less than $ 1 per week.

So, yeah, obviously yes Flickr will not achieve the liquidity it deserves there is a good chance that within a few months they will have to close and even the entire image archive since its inception in 2004 may be lost. And you? Will you purchase a membership to save all your photos?
