So is this being AstroTurf'd?

Or are plebbitors so high on their own supply then think their photos are so special they are being drowned out by all those damn free users?

Flickr now wants to be 500px it seems. But where do people go that just want to share all their photos that are half way decent go to find and see hidden gems and comment and network with other photographers?

I figure instagram+500px is the best imperfect replacement to Flickr. What say you?

Also I love when he calls Flickr a "failing business" then blows smoke up the communities ass in the same paragraph. Shit was mismanaged since Yahoo! There is a business in Flickr but it's not with Smugmug.
