Flickr is testing a new way to make money.

Flickr is testing a new way to make money.

Flickr is now forcing users to get paid accounts. Well, there’s certainly a change in business plans as Flickr is now owned by SmugMug. The company says they add users will soon need pro accounts to share restricted and moderate content. The company says that this will help them provide safer spaces for everyone, including NSFW creators. (This is all BS, they just want money)

The company also wants to get their introverted users towards subscriptions as they plan to restrict free users to 50 non-public shots. Also, any photos beyond that cap are at risk of deletion. The company says that this is a way to encourage sharing and socialization, But they certainly do want users to switch to pro memberships. The company says that they will share timelines and other details as the relevant terms of the service are rolled out. The company also says that deletions are not guaranteed when you go over the limit.

This paywall will be at an advantage as it discourages spammers and also raises barriers for newcomers looking to post risky photography. They will have to go for a pro membership which will help to filter out a lot of content that is not needed.
