I wonder how many people even use their Yahoo accounts any more. This thread was the first that I heard about flickr changing T&Cs. I don't ever log in, I just have some scripts that add particular photos to my photostream -- I.m up to 1,700 now. These then get shown on particular web pages on a web site that I run.

I'll probably end up paying for a couple of months of Pro before deleting everything (as it'll take some time to migrate onto another service).

What frustrates me is that this is the second service that I use that changed it's T&Cs on me this year which needed a lot of work to redo my websites (the other was Google Maps which went from free to $2k/month).

Flickr needs to make money, but I'll bet the fallout will be bad as this change affects a bunch of users who have no idea that it is coming. Presumably the 3% of free people with more than 1k photos are causing significant costs and Flickr wants to dump them.
