I wonder what percentage of people paying for Flickr annually are, like me, thinking, “£74 is too much for something I rarely post to, but I feel held hostage by the 20 years’ worth of old photos I’m hosting on it.”

Every year I wonder what to do, and never reach a conclusion.

@philgyford i guess i see my subs as partly a philanthropic support for Flickr commons, the focus on long term preservation of digital images etc. i also genuinely want to outsource looking after some of my digital content and Flickr feels a rare example of a trustworthy place...

@Laura All understandable! Maybe I'd feel a bit differently if the charge was actively couched in those terms, like n% goes to support the commons etc. But as it is I think "that's a lot to host a load of old photos".
