Favim.com lands on Skip, and Flickr lands on Depends.

Favim.com

Fine as a free WeHeartIt-style time sink for casual aesthetic browsing; it fails as a serious discovery or curation tool.

Flickr

Depends
Confidence: Medium

Hobbyist photographers who want community, feedback, and long-term photo sharing get real value from the free tier; upgrade to flickrPRO only if you hit limits.
