Marc from StockSnap.io here! We honestly couldn't be happier that Flickr is doing this and we'll be sure to add their CC0 photos to our repository.

I have no idea why it didn't even occur to me that the sharing went both ways - totally makes sense now. :)

> I wonder if this will kill them off.

Absolutely NOT. Quite the opposite I think. Using Flickr now pexels, stocksnap, unsplash etc.. will be able to cherrypick the best and highest quality photos from thousands useless on flickr.

The main reason I am using unslplash.com and other sites is the quality of photos. The other day I tried to use a CC photo from flickr I've spent most of my time just searching for a good quality photo.

The benefit of these niche sites is the high level of quality. With Flickr, you'll need to sift through a lot of not so great photos.
