Wow, looking at it for the first time, in like forever, it looks like Yahoo actually invested in Flickr. I got pissed and noped out when they let it stagnate for about 3-4 years.
My theory is that Marissa Mayer took one look at Flickr, decided it would never suit her social strategy, and proceeded to buy and fuck up Tumblr. Meanwhile, the veteran galley slaves left belowdecks at Flickr said "quick! Roll out functionality and featuresets before the coxswain returns!" and created a substantially useful photography site.
