What's Google Photo?

I know Google Photos, but that's still active, and haven't failed to my knowledge

There's still Flickr but I think the reality is that typical people have zero interest in a dedicated photo site.

Instagram is still a thing; granted it pivoted from being a dedicated photo site to a social network with videos and stuff, but still, it started off as a photo website.

Photographers were using Flickr a lot, but then Google started to randomly turn off websites and they realised they put all their eggs in one basket.

Yeah, I put Instagram in a different category from Flickr even though Instagram used to major in photos more and Flickr had more of a community aspect once upon a time.

I still have a Flickr subscription but I definitely recognize that it's a pretty small-time operation and it wouldn't be a shock if it were to go away someday. I like it but I don't depend on it.

Do you mean picasa?

I think that became Google Photos.
