The company says it wants users to think about and understand the consequences of making a photo open to use by anyone with Creative Commons licensing before they just flip the switch to avoid the limit. This makes it difficult for users to just hit a button and circumvent the 1,000 picture limit. In light of this change, Flickr also removed the ability to change licenses on photos on the site in bulk. Last Friday, the company made the policy permanent - all Creative Commons photos will be allowed on Flickr for good, regardless of upload date, even on accounts that otherwise would have surpassed the 1,000 picture limit. But it recently made an exception: that it would be deleting any pictures on accounts over that number, and any Creative Commons licensed photos uploaded before the November 1st, 2018 deadline would be allowed to stay.
On November 1st, 2018 Flickr announced that they would be limiting free accounts to just 1,000 pictures.
