I think this is a bit unkind. Maybe: Storage is expensive, and we'd rather collect money from you, rather than sell you to advertisers.

- woqe 8y agoI think you nailed the marketing of this change. Though, if Flickr posted the steps/goals to making the user a "priority" rather than a "product," I would be more convinced. A cursory read of their TOS doesn't indicate any changes (though this may be premature as the changes are not in effect), and their (1)non-blog upgrade post doesn't seem to indicate any changes in data collection/selling. As an aside, if you were looking to subscribe to their Pro product, the link in the blog post contains a coupon for $15 off their yearly subscription. 1. https://www.flickr.com/lookingahead https://www.flickr.com/lookingahead
