This is an “old” article about Google + (January 2017) that was published in Mashable. Notice that the “landscape photo community” has over 1M followers? As we are always quick to dismiss opportunities someone here made something out of G+.
Maybe Hunter Swift should look into bringing some of those Instagram shots here?
What other opportunities are you perhaps overlooking ?
