Potential clients? Well, IG has the best reach? Current portfolio? Again, who cares where you post it then, unless you want people to find you, then IG has the reach. Who exactly are you posting your pictures for? Yourself? Then why doe sit matter where you post it, do what you want. Virtually every platform except IG is targetted at photographers. I'll admit I'm sort of guilty of the dumping pictures, but for me it's just an online photo album to email links to family/friends to (I don't expect the engagement).įor a while, there was also a lot of pictures from Second Life that sort of straddled the boundary between romance novel covers and softcore porn (and were frequently posted to unrelated groups). I'd argue they also have an issue with discoverability from my experience, they simply don't expose users to photographers/users who aren't already have significant followings (I'd argue this is part of the reason TikTok became so successful so fast, they were always doing what was essentially automated A/B testing for new user content). There's simply not a large group of photo consumers (and virtually no paying customers according to a photographer friend, but Instagram customers also apparently tend to be low-end).

Thanks!įlickr is full of people who just dump pictures on there and expect engagement and/or post them into the maximum number of groups possible. If you're interested in a graceful yet disruptive mass-migration to another app from crappy IG, please leave a comment. If you're sick of this topic, thank you for reading-You're not alone. TL DR - Viewbug, Flickr and VSCO are very good. Pixelfed is such a cool concept: Open-source. Either there's a missing app either iOS or Android, a very small user base, or an emphasis on contests, selling, or family photo sharing. The leftovers: Ello, Hive, Pixelfed, Portraitmode, Storyark, and Tumblr all had one or two strikes against them. I don't know about you, but I could live without that angle. EYEEM - Beloved but seems laser-focused on selling. Behance - I may have misjudged based on my cursory research, but it seems more like a stock photo and design marketplace. Unfortunate, as it's a large and talented user base, and a good app. Lots of stories about rampant bots (like IG). $30/year.įrontrunners left off and why: 500px - Horror stories about Chinese "stock photo" agency ownership, no control of images deleted or not, Chinese state disinterest in intellectual property rights, as pointed out by a Redditor (and elsewhere). Watch this one: It has a ton of potential. Finally, it's divided into a list of categories, and photo subject is not searchable.

Glass is supposed to release its Android app this month. No names or locations (God, I love a location). Honorable mentions: Vero (Possible dubious ownership, but enthusiastic and growing user base), Glass is very photo-centric, perhaps to a fault. Do videos end up in your feed? Can they be suppressed? The work is there. If you're a regular VSCO user please let us know if the experience is OK. Browsing images seems to happen in two columns. (Is it really any worse than IG? BTW Yahoo owns it.) VSCO returned plenty of search results for me (as did Flickr) and I even saw one of my IG follows on there. But it's a deep bench and seems to function well, despite being a little dated-looking.
I can't tell how much new work gets uploaded daily, so if you're a user, please describe your experience in the comments. Flickr is described by some as tired, old (it is), and abandoned, and maybe that's true. My go-to search was the term "New Topographics" (a somewhat obscure style I like and attempt to shoot) and Viewbug did yield results, but only several dozen from only a couple contributors. Notes: Viewbug has small but growing user base, and small but growing image library.
