SmugMug

SmugMug is a paid image sharing, image hosting service, and online video platform on which users can upload photos and videos. The company also facilitates the sale of digital and print media for amateur and professional photographers.[3] On April 20, 2018, SmugMug purchased Flickr from Oath Inc.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmugMug

Feb'2024: We heard from COO Ben MacAskill, CEO @d0n, and Head of Flickr Alex Seville.
Ben said that Verizon very nearly pulled the plug on Flickr before SmugMug saved it in 2018. Since then there have been many offers, but they refuse to even look at the numbers. They know wherever it would go in this tech climate, it wouldn’t last.
Ben also talked a lot about his personal interest in conservation and saving public lands, so wildlife and landscape photographers continue to have spaces to photograph.
The company’s philosophy is a stark contrast from burn-and-churn Silicon Valley. It’s a family-owned business focused on photography and culture. They grow slowly and they think long term. (Extremely long term – check out @flickrfdn.) They don’t take VC money. They work for their customers (not investors) and they take care of their staff (not one Flickr layoff since they took over, and the average tenure is seven years).
