Flickr is a photo and video hosting website that allows users to connect with others through shared content. It can be used to host and share photos/videos which can then be embedded on blogs and social media. Users can explore content organized by tags and categories, as well as through groups. Free accounts provide 300MB of storage per month and allow contribution to 10 groups, while pro accounts offer unlimited storage, bandwidth, and contribution to 60 groups. Privacy settings, licensing options, and accessibility across devices make Flickr a popular photo sharing platform, though some have questioned its content regulation policies.
