This, and numerous related changes to the Flickr product during that time, had strongly negative consequences.įirst, and most crucially, the free terabyte largely attracted members who were drawn by the free storage, not by engagement with other lovers of photography. In 2013, Yahoo lost sight of what makes Flickr truly special and responded to a changing landscape in online photo sharing by giving every Flickr user a staggering terabyte of free storage. If you need unlimited storage, you’ll need to upgrade to Flickr Pro. The changes to our Free accounts are significant, and I’d like to explain why these changes are necessary and why we’re confident they’re the right path forward for Flickr.īeginning January 8, 2019, Free accounts will be limited to 1,000 photos and videos. Many of today’s announcements are unequivocally positive things: a new, simplified login with any email you prefer improvements to the Pro account and additional partner perks. We also recognize that many of the clues for how best to build the future of Flickr can be found in our own, rich history. To be candid, we’re driving toward the future of Flickr with one eye on the rearview mirror we’re certain that Flickr’s brightest days lay ahead, but we remain acutely aware that past missteps have alienated some members of our community. Today, we’re announcing updates to our Free and Pro accounts that mark a new step forward for Flickr.
