I went so far as to have a paid 500px account for one year and I
thought it was pretty good. Then.

But I dislike it a lot now, and have abandoned ship. Haven't posted
there in many years. They have made changes since then, but afaict
it's still a pale imitation of Flickr for features (eg groups,
galleries), and the voting system is this crazy popularity thing that
encourages HDR'ed landscapes, 3D wildlife, and
macros-with-massive-bokeh. Everything looks the same.

To be fair, that it-all-devolves-to-uniform-sameness issue afflicts
all the popularity based social media sites, I guess. Like Instagram.

I have stuck with Flickr, ignoring all the doomsayers, and I feel it
may be making a minor comeback.
