Watch out Stage 2
Flickr is one of the oldest photo communities, now owned by SmugMug and funded mainly by Pro subscriptions. The cut to 1,000 photos for free accounts happened in 2019, outside the evidence window. Its groups, favourites and followers don’t move elsewhere, which is the lock-in. No documented extraction in the last three years. Stage 2.
