Flickr gets new UI, new Android app, 1 TB free space

Can someone please explain to me how on each they're able to do this? They're valuing each of their users at the cost of 1TB (plus bandwidth, electricity, etc.) Like in the hosting industry, "unlimited space" means "fuck you, don't host shit here other than files that serve your content."

Props to her, but to be fair, it's not hard to say "Hey look, a wall!" and go the other direction.

Ok, great. The iPad experience has gone from mediocre to terrible. Hit targets are too small, figuring out how to click through to detail pages is non obvious, and it just feels slow as molasses on my 3rd gen iPad.

Amusingly, in the Yahoo/Tumblr acquisition thread, I complained about how little Yahoo has improved on Flickr...but otherwise, I was a happy paying customer.

Currently, I pay $25 for a year's worth of unlimited photo storage and being ad-free. With this new plan, I have to pay twice as much for what I have now...because even as a 3+ year (almost 4 now) member, I haven't uploaded enough to fill a terabyte. Kind of a bummer, though allowing more than 200 photos (which was the Free offering until now) is absolutely critical for Flickr to be a success.

edit: one of the things I complained about was how the horizontal-masonry that was implemented months (if not a year) ago had been limited to just parts of the site...and how the default logged in userpage was dull and photoless...with the new redesign, both of these complaints are wiped out. Nicely done Yahoo, I will complain more on HN in the future.

edit2: Unless I'm missing something obvious, I don't see a "let me see the old version for now" button...Which I think underscores my opinion of how outdated the old site design was.

Here's my Photostream:

I disagree with people claiming Flickr is just for pictures of Daffodils and Sunsets. I just dump memes and humorous pics there.
