| | | I know a lot of people here use Flickr, I still use it purely out of habit, but will be closing off my account. https://petapixel....grades-pro-members Flickr Limits Free Plan to 1,000 Photos, Upgrades Pro Members After Verizon-owned Yahoo sold Flickr to SmugMug in April of this year, it seemed likely that changes would be coming to the service due to new ownership. Today the first major changes just took place: Flickr has downgraded its free plan and upgraded its pro plan. The Downgrade of Free Flickr’s free accounts will now be limited to storing a combined total of 1,000 photos and videos. Photos aren’t limited by resolution and are stored in their original quality. Prior to this change, Flickr users on the free plan were given 1 terabyte, or 1,000 gigabytes, of free storage space at full resolution. Since 1 terabyte can hold 20,000 files weighing 50MB each (which is way more than most photos), this new limit of 1,000 files is clearly a downgrade for photo-happy Flickr photographers. “Unfortunately, ‘free’ services are seldom actually free for users,” SmugMug says. “Users pay with their data or with their time. We would rather the arrangement be transparent.” Flickr users who were around long ago may remember that prior to 1TB of free storage being announced in 2013, free users were limited to uploading 2 videos and 300MB worth of photos per month. If you’re a Flickr free member who already has over 1,000 photos in your account, you have until January 8th, 2019, to download photos over the 1,000 limit. After that date, you will no longer be able to upload new photos to Flickr. And after February 5th, 2019, Flickr will begin deleting files that are over your 1,000 photo/video limit, starting from oldest to newest, until your account contains only 1,000 files.

On the bleeding edge of cocking things up.

| | | Posted by Archer I did get the email for it, so I can say that they were sent out. They weren't completely underhanded in how they've handled this... mostly, though.
| I actually _don't_ see this mail anywhere in my archive. You got the headers? was it from < [email protected]>? Wondering if they only sent it out to people that were up to renewal or something. Posted by Aran Are there any good free photo hosting sites left?
| I would just settle for "reasonably priced" with a well intentioned ownership policy. I checked the pricing on 500px, its like 70$. If you search for "Flickr alternatives", SmugMug comes up as one of the options, kind of laughable. dA has a terrible UI, unless they have changed drastically in the last few years. I have been using Google Photos, its not terrible, but its an aggregation site, a dumping ground for all your photos basically. I don't think I can use Instagram/Faceboot and feel good about it. I mean, we all realise that as soon as you hit upload on any pic, the genie is out of the bottle. Faceboot has the following in their ToS. https://www.facebook.com/terms when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). | The wording in the Instagram ToS is almost exactly the same.

| This has been the case for some time. There was a scandal of sorts that profile pictures were showing up in ads. Since that happened, my profile picture was an picture of myself from a WWII movie I was in. More recently, it's a stylized picture of the Prime Minister of Russia. If you have the privacy level set fairly tight, they can't (according to them) use the picture. However, cover and profile pictures are always public.
