[Leica] SmugMug acquires Flickr

[Nathan Wajsman]

My concern is the opposite: I have been a satisfied (paying) Smugmug user for 15 years or something like that (my greatpix.eu is on Smugmug) and now I am worried that the company will take on some of the “features” of Flickr which I heartily detest.

Cheers,
Nathan

I'm reasonably optimistic based on SmugMug's past history and reputation. We shall see.  The CEO says they don't data-mine users content.  I pay a reasonable fee to *not* be deluged with ads. I like that model.
