Flickr bought out by smugmug

Not very helpful but I’m just stopping altogether. I haven’t uploaded anything meaningful up there for a while and I don’t really know why I would want to any longer - I’m only shooting as a hobby.
 
I'm quite happy to use flickr for sharing/showcasing my images and upgraded from free to pro to retain that. I don't use it as a backup facility.
 
So after a bit of researching I think I may go to One Drive for storage/backup. The main thing I liked was sharing photos of my little one with my parents through Flickr.
 
With the 1000 photo limit being imposed next week, where have people gone from Flickr?
 
I'm still happy with the Flickr service and renewed my subscription recently although that did prompt me to remove the auto renew option as I want to change the card for future payments.

What I don't appreciate is now that I have removed my card various sections within the site state 'You are in danger of losing your Pro account' even though I've just paid up for two years. Fine if I was close to the renewal but 2 whole years is a bit of a snub to paying members.

Flickr should not be considered a backup drive and I am surprised people use it as such. Something like OneDrive or Google Drive would be an appropriate cloud backup solution.

I've switched to this yesterday.. Not happy with the Flickr situation, the company is fully self funding on advertising so this is nothing more than jumping on a subscription based bandwagon that's the growing trend at the moment.

I've started using it again now. The community seems very active which is great. Looks like I won't miss Flickr.
What's your name on there?
