1TB isn't that impressive when you have to deal with a 300MB/month upload rate limit: http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/ It'd take 291 years to fill up the 1TB allowance: https://www.google.com/search?q=1TB+%2F+(300+MB%2Fmonth) (Also looks like there's a missing on that limits page, there.) Edit: Looks like the page is being edited right this moment - the page used to list the 300MB/month limit but was also mentionin…

I don't actually see the 300MB/month limit on that page. Was it possibly a vestigial FAQ list item that just got removed?

Check again, the mention of 300MB/month is gone. Looks like old copy cache.

Where is the upload rate limit mentioned?

Huh. Flickr Pro is gone, and there's no way to lift this 300MB/mo limit? Looks like Dropbox might have found themselves a new paying customer.

Although, for existing Pro users, it looks like they can continue renewing their Pro accounts [1]:

* Starting on 5/20/2013, we will no longer be offering new Flickr Pro subscriptions. After that point, the following things will happen: *

* Recurring Pro users currently have the ability to renew. *

Earlier quoted context omitted.

When I log in, I see: "Dear [name], as a Pro member continue to enjoy the benefits of unlimited space, an ad free experience and stats." "Smile [username]. Flickr gives you one free terabyte of space. Share your photos in full resolution. See what's new Pro members, your subscription remains the same." It seems Pro is still here.

The pro badge is no more, and pro accounts exist only as grandfathered in plans. You can renew an existing pro account, but those who aren't currently can't subscribe to it.

What? No refund for those with a Pro account?

Why do tech companies not want to take my money these days?

The concept of 'free' on the Internet is changing. Users will now happily pay because they don't want another service dying because of no sustainable income.

Even if Yahoo can sustain themselves with their exabyte-era data-centers. I don't care. I just want a pro / premium option, and I want one soon.
