![]() ![]() It would be sad if that were all to disappear.īut Flickr is very expensive to run because it hosts so much data on the internet. For one thing, it showcases actual historical images, but it also chronicles a visual history of the world through the lens of millions of people since 2004. ![]() When SmugMug acquired the photo-hosting service in 2018, CEO Don MacAskill hoped to make the service profitable, calling it “ core to the entire fabric of the Internet.” But this wasn’t just hyperbolic CEO-speak - MacAskill had a point. Honestly, it’s not a bad move - it might be more effective than asking subscribers to recruit their friends to pay for Flickr. So, in an attempt to draw in more paying subscribers, Flickr changed its content guidelines to only allow Flickr Pro users to post “restricted” or “moderate” content, which includes photos of “full-frontal nudity and sexual acts.” Flickr isn’t very good at making money, but as the old adage goes, sex sells.
