Flickr s***s all over pro account holders

5 years and over 2 million views and Flickr now decides to royally screw pro account users.

Everybody gets a terrabyte of storage, and their pictures are at full resoloution, so it's basically a pro account but with adverts.

When I started with a Pro account it wasn't because I was being snobbish, it was because I thought of myself as a serious although amateur photograper and there was plenty of clear benefits to being a pro account holder and although it may seem childish but I enjoyed having that little pro account badge.

 

I can still be a pro, but it now costs $60 and the only benfit I can see is that there are no ads !!

 

I'm not sure that I have put my point over clearly here but I hope that most of you can see my point of view.

 

Also, the new layout is truly horrendous ... clearly aimed towards mobile phone and tablet owners.

 

My account runs out in September 2013 and I'm so sad to say that I will be deleting my account unless of course Flickr backtracks (and pigs will fly).

 

Any comments, for or against will be welcome ... I hope I change my mind, I really do !!

Done
