Starting May 17, 2022, we [Flickr] will begin removing non-public content in violation of Flickr’s new free account limit policies. This applies to Free accounts with more than 50 non-public photos (private, friends, family, or friends and family).
Funny that their tagline is "Flickr Forever".

RIP Web2.0

Photos seem like a perfect application for content addressable storage (eg IPFS/bittorrent.) I wonder how long before "normal people" catch on. If they were hosted that way at least the links wouldn't break as long as people had backups.
