Flickr sent a barrage of emails stating that anyone wishing to maintain their content must upgrade to a paid account. Those who chose not to do so would have their content deleted without recourse.

It seems they meant what they said. How refreshing.

Sounds like the old "GIVE US MONEY" or SCREW YOU!

Yeah but I’m no fan of the “It’s Free.... but hey, by the way. F*** YOU!” business model.

Show me even one saying that. The only emails I see are those offering discounted upgrades, such as on 5/4/22,

Here’s a quick reminder as our new free account limits go into effect: if you want to upgrade to Flickr Pro for up to 25% off, you have until May 18, 2022, so act fast! It looks like the free account limit changes won’t affect you, but now’s a great time to upgrade anyway—especially if you’ve been thinking about posting private photos to Flickr, or dipping your toes into the kinds of photography we consider “moderate” or “restricted.”

Which was preceded by this on 4/19/2:

Beginning May 1, 2022, Flickr will start enforcing our recently-announced Free account changes regarding Restricted and Moderate content. What this means: Free accounts with Restricted or Moderate content will be considered in violation of our terms of service and subject to removal. Accounts found in violation of our terms will need to either subscribe to Flickr Pro or remove the content in violation.

However, my content was never cited, treated or or classed as Restricted or Moderate and as Fliker stated "It looks like the free account limit changes won’t affect you." Nor was there any notice to remove the content in violation, while the violative content remains a mystery.
