Looks like the SUCK might get even worse. I ran across an announcement
that Yahoo has decided to eliminate sign in with your Facebook or Google
ID to peruse photos on Flickr. In the future you must use a Yahoo ID.
I don't know what this really means, because I didn't know you had to
sign in to see photos on Flickr.

A bunch of Flickr does indeed suck; badly. But for much of my "needs"
it sucks less than anything else I've encountered, especially for the
price. And some of the suckage can be contained by front-ending it
with Flickriver which I usually remember to do.
Your pixelated fail is the first I've heard of that particular issue.
Most people just run into the "Unexpected Ken Burns Annoyance". I
wonder if you've got some stale browser cookies that need to be
expunged?
Just for testing, does this Flickr image ("Kat") viewed via Flickriver
look okay to you?

Thanks!

A MacBook Pro, and a Mac Mini with a 24in monitor; both Safari and Firefox.
Larry's and Godfrey's from Feb are coarsely pixelated too. All the pix people
are posting anywhere but Flickr look fine, including your Tumblr pix.
Flickr sucks.

That's very curious, Rick. How are you viewing them?
Chrome, Firefox, Safari (Mac OS), iPod (iOS): all look fine.
How about on my Tumblr? (Note that after about 5 images down things get NSFW)

Nope, it's Flickr. Bruce Walker's last few images are pixelated as hell, and
won't re-load in a cleaner state.
I hate Flickr. The new version is even worse than the old one.

Beautiful colors and composition, but as soft as a well-fluffed down pillow.
QED, in re the Leica M.

Speaking of shooting only monochrome/black & white, I took my class on a field
trip; we were all armed with black & white film when I saw this--it had to be in
color! So I grabbed my student's iPhone (4--I think)...
