I have been on here almost 4 years, and I've noticed a notable loss of availability of a lot of functions that I used to be able to access. Such as Requests, and past messages, followers to name a few that I need a Premium Membership to access now. I was a long time member of the old Flickr which was totally destroyed by a takeover and thousands of people lost their platform for fun and fantasies. I'm sure there are people on here that remember the old Flickr. But this blatant reduction in available functions based on the need for Premium Membership which a lot of people can ot afford , low income earners, senior citizens and anyone else on a fixed income . I am a senior on a fixed income and with the current economy and the price of gas as an example leaves less money for pleasure as much as the lockdowns of Covid 19. But I hear people from the US complaining about gas and disposable income. I live in Canada and we are paying $2.12 a litre. If you multiply a litre by 4.5 litres in an Imperial Gallon that's what I'm paying out of my disposable income which isn't much to begin with. This push for people to become Premium Members to still be able to enjoy this site as much as I did when I first signed up.this comparable to PAY PER VIEW. Don
