Reviews: What People Think About Glass — Photography Community

Elisecaitlin

Rating: 5/5

I know I’m not alone in feeling like Instagram just isn’t doing it for me anymore - the ads, the influencers, the reels. Need I say more? It’s just not a place for photos anymore, and that makes me so sad. I’ve been looking for a replacement for a while and recently found Glass. At first, I thought there’s no way I’m paying to use it. But after reading about the team and their mission, I figured it was something worth supporting. It’s still in it’s early days, but the more photographers who use it and support it, the better it will be. I actually feel excited to use it - something I haven’t felt about a social media app in a long time. There’s beautiful content and folks are excited to share their thoughts. It’s the start of a great community, and I’m excited to be a part of it!

This app showed a lot of promise and there was a ton of hype when it launched but it’s a miss for me as it feels like a ghost town lately. I follow at latest count about 200 people and I’m lucky if I see 5-10 new photos a day total. That seems like extremely low usage. On the plus side, the addition of categories and improved Exif info has helped a little but you still cannot allow the location of the photo to be posted from Exif data and the categories are limiting. I’m just not seeing much community engagement as it’s missing a lot of features that help build a community, especially since this app bills itself as a photo community. Beyond commenting, there really is not much else for people to engage in with each other. I subscribed for a year and I’ll keep posting but not sure I’ll renew unless some new community features arrive. Noting that I also opened a UX / accessibility issue in their feature requests but as of yet that has not been addressed. Update, December, 2021 - Now that the app has “appreciations” or “likes”, it’s gone even quieter than before. Folks appreciate a photo but that’s dramatically reduced social interaction via commenting so perhaps its had an opposite effect than what the app owners were intending. 🤷 Now it sort of feels like an Instagram wanna-be.

Over the years photographers have tried to find a place to share work together. There was Flickr (which turned into a train photography community instead), 500px (mysteriously purchased by Chinese Corp), and Instagram (devolved into memes, selfies, and influencers after Facebook purchase). For the past few years, we had nothing. Glass proposed a simple idea - photography community paid by subscriptions. It’s brilliant. I’m happy to pay to be a part of photography as art community and think this is the start of something good. The first pass at the app isn’t perfect but I know reception has been great and Glass will work out the kinks and eventually scale to other platforms. Glass team - I wish you all success and big paydays ahead, thanks for hard work to bring this idea to life.
