Flickr relaunched, has new design and a whole 1TB of storage space.

Fuck this, the layout sucks for longtime users like me (specifically the homepage, streams are pretty OK though). But the blackbackgrounds on photos, and how Marissa said "Professional photographers don't exist" and charging an arm and a leg for what used to be Pro, this isn't good.

so apparently this also happened but I'll have to check sources

she allegedly still acknowledges that there are different skill levels but I don't think that's much of a consolation prize

A 1TB Hard Drive would only cost Yahoo approximately $100 each.

As of May 2013, Flickr has [url=http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/resource-how-many-people-use-the-top-social-media/]87 million users and 8 million photos[/url]. High-res Jpeg images are typically around 3MB in size, so at current, a rough estimate of the storage space required by all photos of Flickr is less than 25TB. It is a safe assumption that any proper cloud service such as Flickr will have at least one backup of each file on a separate drive, bringing us to a total of less than 50TB, or 75TB with a third backup.

I imagine the biggest portion of the cost would be in bandwidth. But in terms of actual hard drive space, 1TB isn't that much for a multi-billion dollar company to provide, provided most users don't actually use up 1TB of data.

Cheaper. Bulk ordering harddrives gives a good discount.
