Well honestly, any service for which one derives value from should have a monetary value for one. $49.99 per year, or about $4 per month is about the cost of 2 cups of coffee. Totally reasonable if you ask me.

$4 is more than 16 cups of coffee here. Would you pay $32 a month for the service?

Well carry-out coffee is overpriced so I don't know if that's a useful comparison.

Is Flickr worth 1.5x my monthly ISP cost? That's a trickier calculation.

Plus Flickr only bill in USD so my bank will charge a foreign-transaction fee too.
