I remember a lot of people noting that facebook's UI evolution toward a focus on images rather than text is theoretically nice. That is, it's presented very well whenever the images are nice, but on facebook that's rarely the case--a quick look through my homefeed, it's either blurry party shots/selfies or obnoxiously filtered Instagram pictures. Flickr seems to have made the same evolution, and in that respect its UI changes are hardly original ideas. Yet it's almost a perfect fit -- where else on the Internet will you find more professionally-taken pictures?
> where else on the Internet will you find more professionally-taken pictures?
The main venue which comes to mind is 500px. However, with its leanings toward a more professional level comes a lack of the fun, informal atmosphere of Flickr. I maintain a presence on both, for now, and thoroughly enjoy Flickr - but, I'll have to keep an eye on what happens there hereon. As they say, the headlines giveth, the fine print taketh away. =:/
