The Flickr app is free - I don't pay for it, it takes no input or information from or about me that the website doesn't already have or acquire from use. Flickr's "crappy little app" is in most ways better implemented than their browser pages, and presents photos much more speedily and with higher quality than most browsers, regardless of platform. It presents a cleaner, nicer viewing experience.
There are some things that the app does well, but there are a lot of things I do on the web site that it simply doesn't do. The mobile site has a wealth of it's own suckage as well.
My biggest gripe is that flickr doesn't understand consent culture. If I say "no" that doesn't mean to keep asking me until I break down and give in. It is trivial to store a cookie that says "no, they don't want the app, or they have already installed the app and are choosing to access it via the website".
What is even worse is that for some reason, clicking the dismiss seems to just take it back to the same page that causes it to reload the nag page and it can be damn near impossible to get around it to what I actually want to see.
I can think of many more annoying internet things to bitch about than the Flickr app, which happens to work very well, costs nothing, etc.
By that measure, there are far more important things to discuss than the topics of approximately 100% of the traffic of the PDML.
