Terrible Flickr Redesign, 2013

Terrible Flickr Redesign, 2013
When I attempted a Flickr upload today, my first in awhile, I found this mess that Flickr has become. Frankly, a lot of disreputable websites have far better designs. I could say for the hundredth time that whoever redesigned Flickr should be fired, but indeed Flickr is constantly being redesigned, and each time it becomes less usable for members, more chaotic in layout, and less functional for visitors. As of this writing, in addition to the unbelievably bad layout that you can see above, you can no longer find out your photostream views (actually iPernity has also blundered into making your photostream views hard to access, as I'll explain later), and administration of your groups is next to impossible too as there's no indication of what's been posted since you left (actually that problem is close to a year old already). Listing all of the problems with Flickr as it exists now would take a blog post, and I have considered it.
This is my now disasterously disorganized Flickr photostream. If I could redesign this, I would, but apparently unlike iPernity, Flickr/Yahoo don't want you doing this. My photos are displayed in such a jumbled mess now that I've decided I'm no longer going to use Flickr. I can't even find out my total stream views anymore. I was hoping to someday hit 100,000 views, but now if I ever reach it I'll never know. What a disaster for what used to be the best photosharing site on the internet.
