Goodbye

I've made my mind. I'm leaving Flickr.

 

You may ask why. There's couple reasons. Firstly, I'm really tired of how the society looks like here (and on most such websites). You visit someone's profile, comment regulary and that person never even tries contacting with you or returning back. I would even accept a comment saying the person wouldn't visit me due to ___ (put whatever word you like). Secondly, most of comments are empty. I'm not going to be any special, because I lost motiviation myself with such an attitude, though I still tried saying something meaningful. I've always hoped for a constructive critique - I got it only from few of you and that I'm thankful for. Thirdly, logging to Flickr is a real pain in the ass. They couldn't help me solve the problem with staying logged in with Google account despite my several messages. They simply ignored me by replying with FAQ answers. It irritated me and helped me make this decision. At last, but not least - I'm a bit terrified my pictures might be used without my knowledge due to CC license whole Flickr is put under. I read a story about a pair who experienced such a thing, nothing nice.

 

So, I'm going to move my portfolio, start a new chapter. Probably by creating an individual photoblog. Who knows, maybe finally try selling pictures, like some of you suggested?

 

Thank you everyone for contributing into existance of this Flickr of mine. It means a lot to me, all your messages, favorites, visits. I will keep you in mind, maybe visit once in a while. It was a great adventure to me. I will miss you! Thank you.

Done
