# Flickr

Hollow (zombie). Founded 2004-02-10.

Stewart Butterfield, 2004, out of a game. Yes, him again. Still a community. Barely a product race.

## Why it lasted
- Photographers who refuse Instagram still have originals there.
- SmugMug bought it to keep the archive from rotting. That is love as life support.

## Near deaths
- Yahoo's neglect. Instagram's phone. Google Photos' dump. Flickr became the attic.

## What would finish it
- SmugMug deciding the attic is too expensive. The photos would need a real funeral plan.
