The press on this, tech and photo, has been largely positive (if for no other reason than the Verizon acquisition of Yahoo is seen as spelling doom for the properties not sold off). SmugMug, as a paid photography site, has a good rep, so I’m not immediately worried about something awful happening to my many Flickr photos (while I’ve been lax in posting stuff up there recently, vs Google Photos, I have a lot of content from the past there).
So, optimistic, until I hear something otherwise.
