Facebook and Flickr adjusting images
Discussion
Has anyone else noticed a lot of adjustment being applied to images uploaded to facebook and flickr lately? Its bugging me a lot, any solutions? If I want my photos to look like an instagram filter I'll bloody use one myself!
Couple of screenshots for example - first one facebook, second is flickr. Both have the original (the exact file uploaded) on the right for comparison.

Facebook has always been terrible for images, they are not interested in image quality at all they get so much uploaded they murder them
one reason why I started link.photo to keep the iq decent.

Key to Facebook is not to upload images too high res to begin with (you may already know this so tell me to shut up if so) 
Their engine compresses it aggressively - with image resizing tool it's easy to do but just takes little more time.
Think from memory 2048px and JPEG of 70% image quality when saved out, quick Google will help I'm sure

That no longer matters, used to be a few things yu could do to help ( use png etc) but none of it makes any real difference now.Their engine compresses it aggressively - with image resizing tool it's easy to do but just takes little more time.

Update: It turned out most of the problem was actually buried in my browser (Firefox) colour management settings.
