Flickr makes my photos unsharp!

Yes, but is there a clear and clean way to do get this link in Google drive (I can't find it)?

I go into where the photos are stored in Google and right click a particular photo and choose 'copy link address' then in the forum I paste the link in the 'insert image' option.

Yes, I believe you. My first response to the OP was the same (I was looking at the photos on my work computer). There IS a difference, though. Even if only visible to people with good eyes and on better screens.

Do you see this blur in your photostream on Flickr itself (besides the download menu)? I still see everything super sharp there, so this would right now only affect embedding links, like sharing here on RFF, right?

Yes, as said before, we are only discussing sharing on RFF.

In my Flickr also the images that are not intended for downloading have this unsharpness. It is awful.

You lost me there. I don't know where to go to get to "where the photos are stored in Google". I can only think that you mean Google Drive. But in the web Google Drive app (https://drive.google.com) I can't get to direct image links like you describe.

Flickr promised:

- New 5K Photo Display Option. Look your best. Your images are beautifully optimized for any screen, from smartphone to jumbotron. Pro images display at resolutions up to 5K. Coming early 2019.

Maybe they will first make it really bad, so that we will then praise the "new and better" display of images when they fix it?

Flickr has something like 10 billion images. How is anyone going to find yours?

I found out that when I upload in 640 x 453 the picture seems sharper, but of course this is scam: a lot of detail is lost because of the small size.

Leica I (1928), Elmar 50mm f/3.5, 400-2TMY.
