I use Flickr since 2008 & Used Glass one day. What did I miss ?

I have used Flickr since 2008. And before it was acquired I think 2005 on and account I never could find.

Flickr has its flaws, and has lost its user base.
Today I signed up for Glass, thought Id give it at least the trial.
I signed up for the trial shows I am a member.
Upload same photo on Flickr, and there is zero camera data says cant be found.
I double check and it the EXIF metadata is intact. I tried ones from a different camera and nope. So I figure I will write support, but support is not on glass it goes to some middle company. That had me signup there too.
But now no one can find my account. I go back to Glass and it says I have no plan, yet I am a member. Because I could upload and there is no uploads on a free account.
So I went to where I could get a refund as this maze is not what I signed up for.
Compared to Flickr everything is super limited. It felt like the lower price was justify.
In all fairness, I only tried it a few hours, but if it was that frustrating just trying to find metadata. I mean Flickr its all right there with allot of data. Glass had nothing from any of my camera. Glitch today, maybe they are having issues.
This is not a bash post on Glass OBVIOUSLY, I did not spend allot of time, and couldn't.

I am also Biased as I know how Flickr works end to end and its intuitive.
So maybe someone can tell me what I am missing and why GLASS is so often discussed.
It has no community, and I found the support system very odd.
I will be honest when crap goes wrong with websites I lose my patience.
I pay for it to work. A guy in another Sub invited me to try it, but I found it nothing like they said.

I am open to thoughts and again yes biased and yes did not use it long, and also could use what I needed. So asking to maybe get insight what I am missing since I really couldn't see what was GLASS, so popular for.
I also use Pexel at times and it was super easy to use too.
