I have to admit around the time they went to 1TB free, I stopped taking serious pictures and just used Flickr to be the default backup for my phone camera.

Now whe I go to Flickr I see a lot more photo plagiarism by throwaway accounts, to say nothing of dank memes.

If Flickr offers better integration of their photo storage with blogging platforms and the like, it would be very well worth the Pro account. And by concentrating on helping peopel who gather photos for public presentation, they'd be offering a service that isn't quite like the shutterbug demographic they want, but is still on the same tenor.
