## What people warn about

- Paid subscription is a high barrier (1 comments): "I actually quite like it. You have to pay, though, which is a high entrance barrier" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47905957))
- Upload limit of 10 photos at once (1 comments): "It doesn‘t allow to upload more than 10 photos at once, and if you upload 2 or more you have to put them in a so-called series" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47907797))
- Unclear long-term survival (1 comments): "the service probably won't survive the next 5-10 years, but at least the UI/UX is done with some thought" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47912229))
