Gift Flickr Pro! This is what the cycle is going to be like at @Flickr from now on: Customers ask us for something great, we listen carefully then go build & invent on their behalf, then we listen again. This wasn't on our radar two weeks ago. Now it's shipped. Keep it coming!https://twitter.com/BenMacAskill/status/1065376556183302144 …

Is there a way to consider a gentler solution for February 5+ than what I assume is old photos starting to 404? Maybe a very low-quality thumbnail remaining on the page? Or some metadata? Or collaborating with Internet Archive so that the images don’t go away?

Have been a customer for many years, but many people aren’t – and yet I encounter their older Flickr photos many times weekly in my research. It worries me to think at some point they, this significant chunk of history, might all be gone.

We have considered myriad scenarios. No-one wants to delete photos, certainly not me, but when the choice is deleting millions of photos or deleting tens of billions, what would you choose? Has to be sustainable, and choosing if people are care about photography & Flickr matters.

I understand (and applaud!) the business focus, but this feels like a false dichotomy, given I’ve specifically talked about shades of gray, not blacks/whites. (BTW your support people and blog posts don’t talk about the myriad scenarios, and things seem light on details overall.)

We spent *months* gaming out all of the scenarios, testing with customers & data. One that doesn't affect >97% of Free members, and 0% of Pro members, and everyone gets better service, seems to be shades of gray, not black & white, no?

I explained what I meant by shades of gray in the other tweets, though.

And there are some tweets dangling there that seem to indicate there are still uncharted avenues? E.g.https://twitter.com/doctorow/status/1058868385482719233?s=21 …
