Wedding photography conference WayUpNorth launches closed social platform
Original: So, WayUpNorth (a European wedding photography conference) launched their new service today and it's walled garden vibe
WayUpNorth, a European wedding photography conference, has launched a new online service that users describe as a walled-garden social platform with a paid directory for photographers. Early reactions online are critical of the closed, paywalled approach, with some commenters joking it feels 'vibe coded', questioning whether a gated community model will appeal to wedding photographers used to open networks.
Why now: The newly launched closed, paid platform is drawing criticism from photographers skeptical of walled-garden social networks.
