So I drew up plans to quietly step back from Flickr. I'd already paid for a year, so there was no real value for anyone in making any immedate move. Just when my account was coming up for expiry, I'd extract my photos from the site, find some convenient way to host them myself, and feel that warm glow of low barrier-to-entry middle-class social consciousness.
