I commented the other day that I hadn't renewed my sub for the first time in 6 or so years.

I'm now VERY annoyed I didn't; I'd have had 2 more years of "pro", and with it the one feature I enjoyed looking at which is my stats page with referrer info etc.

That no longer seems to be an option at all.

This isn't true. Those limits are all removed http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/

I think they have some more work to do, I just hit a limit... http://i.imgur.com/SQRvzWw.png

Yeah, as far as I can tell they removed the 300 MB limit from the limits page less than an hour ago; I'm sure they're still cleaning up the old limits as we speak.

So far, the response from Flickr power users looks overwhelmingly negative: http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157633547442506/

Most of that looks like the usual user complaining because an interface changed.

If power users = pro users, and pro users = paid users, yeah, you should take notice with the people left generating revenue.

I've been a Flickr Pro user since 2007. Flickr has been a huge part of my photography hobby. I don't know if I'm a "power user", but I can tell you all about different prime lenses, aperture, Lightroom and Photoshop.

I love the new UI and the new app.

I'm alone hate new design? Why? Too much dark colors (especially menu) and frustrated navigation, probably because I have habits about old design, now everything looks too much different.

Than next image button (when you'r not zoomed in) looks like it's ajax, but it's not.

I loved Flickr for easy to use light design, I don't care about 1TB, too much because I don't want to share so much on the Internet. So new Flick is lost me as a customer.

I, as a regular consumer, just got a 2TB hard drive for $90. That means the space was $45/GB compared to your $67/GB. When you buy enough hard drives to fill a data center I am sure you get better prices too! As other commenters have said, I doubt most people will use a fraction of this space.

You might get the drives cheaper, but you also need to pay for the servers to house them, and rent the space, and hire the people to replace the drives that fail, and so on. The fully loaded cost is far higher than the purchase price of the drive.

Don't forget the redundancy, too. Bit awkward having to explain to your users why you randomly lose a couple of percent of their data every year.

I don't think I could ever come close to even 10GB with my residential cable connection. It would take months to upload that much.

Or you could go to some place with high bandwidth and you know, upload them from there...

Where would the average person find some place with higher bandwidth than their residential cable connection?

This is great for the so-called "photo-enthusiasts." I'll probably sign up on that basis. But I'm not sure I understand the mobile play. Most of my mobile photos are horrid quality and when I take a photo with my phone 100% of the time it is with the intent to share with others, either via SMS or Facebook or Twitter. I would be happy to share on Flickr. There's only one problem. That of course is that none of my frie…

Here's a few photos I've taken with my phone:

Phone cameras have gotten a hell of a lot better in the past couple of years.
