> So why did they go for storage instead of pumping the features with premium subscriptions
1TB is a meaningless promise. No one will use a full terabyte for a long time to come. I have about 1,400 photos on Flickr today, almost all of which were shot with a DSLR. Even if you were to consider file size of my current camera in RAW, that would come out to about 31GB total; Jpeg will be a lot smaller.
So, they jettison features that are hard or costly, offer something that no one will actually use for a long time to come, and...profit, I suppose.
I think the time might have come for me to move entirely onto 500px, which kind of bums me out. I love 500px, but I've also been a Flickr user for over eight years.
Agreed on the issue of 1TB. It's curious to see how many people remain concerned they might inadvertently hit that ceiling.
Myself, I'll likely remain primarily on Flickr, simply for the community aspect - that's something which seems to remain imperceptible to the likes of Marissa Mayer, sad to say. I'm also on 500px, but there's no atmosphere there.
