I would like to post photos on a site that is accessible to others but that is A) somewhat respectful of personal information (i.e. nothing owned by Facebook); and B) is not too silly looking (Imgur). Is there any good option, or is Flickr still worthwhile? I don’t mind if the site charges a reasonable fee. Thank you.

Good points; it has a void-ish feel to it, but it’s interesting how many people are on it and how many people use it according to these answers. When I just re-signed up, it feels a bit like it’s been left alone by its owners.

In this era that’s pretty much the best one can hope for anyway. Meanwhile, every other major site is getting worse on purpose in order to “increase engagement” AKA waste your time trying to find what you want.

One feature of Flickr I really like is the “camera finder”. It basically lets you see what cameras are popular, but more importantly it shows you the “interesting” pics taken with each camera. Browsing this thing has to be one of the best anti-GAS measures in existence, at least when it comes to buying new camera bodies. You can compare popular photos from the latest whiz-bang top of the line cameras to photos from whatever outdated clunker you have and see that they just aren’t any better. At all.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
