How would a user be forced to upload all of their photos? I have (allegedly) unlimited storage with Flickr, but I manually upload the photos that I choose.

Without taking the time to do actual research, I would imagine that a lot of minimum wage jobs either already are, or easily could be, done part-time. In that case, they would not necessarily be held by people otherwise unemployed. It'
