Changes at Flickr - and compliance with Online Safety changes
I know that in the past, many artists posted their photos online on Flickr , often with free accounts.
However, those with free accounts should know a few things about the changes summarized below.

- Limited secret content and
- Encourage people to follow professional accounts.
Changes announced this week:
Non-Public Photo Restrictions - For Free Accounts
We limit free accounts to 50 personal photos (eg photos marked as personal, photos of friends and family or friends and family. Read more about privacy settings on Flickr).In other words, if you never pay for your Flickr account, you risk losing all but the 50 (fifty) photos you upload now, which isn't true for everyone.
If you need a secure place to store photos that you don't want to publish, you'll need to upgrade to a PRO subscription which gives you unlimited memory for a month, a year or two.
Guess what - get the most expensive monthly and the best price for two years at a time.
The announcement to delete this photo may sound familiar to them.
In 2018, we announced that free accounts with more than 1,000 photos and/or videos will be actively deleted. In the following years, we didn't delete a single photo that crossed the border. no.Now they say you can upload lots and lots of photos, but all but 50 must be public. Otherwise, it will be deleted.
So don't say you weren't warned!
