Flicker account

[bje07]

I refuse to pay to store my photos on my flicker account.
If I understand their new rules correctly, I will be forced from May 17th to pay or have my account closed.
What would be another solution to upload photos on the Cambridge in color website, otherwise I would have to regret leaving you?
Thank you for your answers.

I may be wrong, but I thought that their new policy continues free accounts but doe not allow those with free accounts to post sexually explicit photos (restricted and moderate content) and limits them to 50 non-public photos. Am I wrong?

That is what I understood from their message.

No you do not understand the new rules. Only images containing nudity (restricted and moderate) are not allowed on a free account.

Doesn't worry me. The only nude photographs I could take nowadays are selfies and I would not be brave enough to post them anywhere...

I uploaded 2 photos yesterday and got a dialog box that said I have 623 more photos to upload. I have the free account. So, I think that you are limited to a certain number of photos on the free accounts. Don't know what that number is but I think I'll be pretty safe if I still have 623 more to reach the max.

Edit: Looks like the maximum upload is 1000 for the free accounts.

Thank you for your answers.
Flicker is so agressive with their attemps to sell a pro subscription, with their emails ,every day.
I'll see next time I'll upload a picture on my Flicker site on the forum.

Interesting. I almost never get emails from them, perhaps because I don't use my Flickr account all that often.

Someone has to pay for all of this. There are people managing the site who have to eat, and there are costs from maintaining the site itself. It's nice that they provide a limited free service, but it's hardly surprising that they try to encourage people to pay for a subscription so that they can pay their rent. This is a fairly common approach: provide a money-losing, limited free service in the hopes that enough people will want to upgrade to paid service. For example, it's done by Dropbox.

There are only two alternatives. One is to sell advertisements. The other is to sell users' personal data. Or some combination of both.

Just un-subscribe from the emails.

I copy what I just received today: it's not evidnet what to do.
If you have another way to upload pictures on this forum I'll be happy.
PS I have no nude pictures, (of course)

This is the issue:

You have more than 50 non-public photos on your free account.

The free account allows 1,000 photos, with a maximum of 50 non-public photos.

You have 50+ non-public photos, so change the privacy settings on the excess to public, or simply delete them from Flickr

If it's just to upload images in a forum post then you can use image hosting sites such as imgbb.com or Imgur. These two ate free.
