Yahoo CEO: " ...there is no such thing really as professional photographers"

[Dikkie]

It remains no big deal...

Then why should people pay for something they give for free, anyway?
Flickr apparently want to refund lots of money to their customers, is Flickr turning into a charity business?
Don't know how they're going to win anything with that plan

I still insist it's no big deal.

The topic at hand would be the statement made by Yahoo's CEO.

My position is that what she said means dick. It won't influence anyone, in any way, whatsoever. If you were a professional before she said what she did, I've got news for you: YOU STILL ARE. If you weren't a professional before she said what she did, you still can become one.

It's just kinda' funny how one off-handed remark can get blown so out of proportion.

I'll say this, though: Threads like this are a never-ending cavalcade of entertainment...

I don't give a damn about her statement. I don't care about that label put on the paying members, whether it's called "pro", "idiot", "Elite", "n00b" or even nothing. I didn't ask for that label anyway, certainly as I'm totally not a professional.


What I'm complaining about is that paying members don't get anything more than free members right now. A free terabyte... who's going to pay for unlimited? And the stats you had as only extra, are not really that much...
They apparently want every paying member to change to free, and refund each subscription again.

How would Marissa know? She has about 12 pics on her personal Flickr..

I guess the next time she needs a portrait done she'll seek out someone with a camera phone. I seriously doubt it, so when a professional photographer is hired to make her look good, she should just kiss the photographers ass and say thanks.

If you do a search on Marissa Mayer and look at the pictures, 99% were shot by professional photographers.

Possibly. I mean, the Chicago Sun-Times just laid off its photo staff in favor of reporters' iPhones so...Anything is possible. Lol
