They also started putting in video services, which I think sucks.

flickr has always been great precisely because it didn't do anything  
else, and try to be an idiotic everything site like the rest.

The video stuff can't be easily disabled, and site performance has  
been down ever since they turned it on.

The quality of what you find on there is, naturally, even lower now.

But, until it really goes to hell, it's the nicest site out there  
except for a few which cost a lot.

I might move to one of them anyway.
