Does anyone still use EyeEm? This seems mostly like an issue for older users with outdated email addresses.

I still had close to a thousand photos up. The income was minimal but inertia is a thing. Until now there was never a reason to delete.

No way to delete all the photos at once, and I'm about a third of the way through.

They seem to be adding deliberate delay to the process after selecting delete, and the website is set up that for each image the delete button if offscreen and you have to scroll down to it, no matter the zoom selected.

Welp, it's raining today and there is nothing to do outside. I guess, I'll start deleting them one by one.

I did get a little beer money from it, so I'm not entirely mad.

And no way to batch-delete?

Nope, per the piece.

You have to delete them one by one.
