Talk to me about why not Flickr. They're an integral part of my backup strategy and I find that they not only compress their online stuff very, very little but they'll actually take camera raw and archive it for you if you want. There are two aspects of Yahoo that don't suck: Yahoo Finance and Flickr. And Flickr sucked for a lonnnnng time.

My theory is that Marissa Mayer took one look at Flickr, decided it would never suit her social strategy, and proceeded to buy and fuck up Tumblr. Meanwhile, the veteran galley slaves left belowdecks at Flickr said "quick! Roll out functionality and featuresets before the coxswain returns!" and created a substantially useful photography site.
