Found this on dpreview.com:
Flickr Pro is temporarily discounted by 30%, putting it at $34.99 for a year’s subscription.
In a statement released on Tuesday, photo sharing site Flickr announced that its desktop Auto-Uploadr tool, which automatically and privately uploads images to a user’s account, is now available only to paying 'Pro' customers. Users with free accounts must upgrade to Pro to continue using the tool.
Flickr Pro offers a few benefits over free accounts, including ad-free browsing, access to additional stats, discounts on Flickr merchandise shipping, a 20% discount for Adobe Creative Cloud Photography and, as of yesterday, exclusive use of the Auto-Uploadr tool.
Cheers
WHOA! Flickr Pro membership now costs $49.99US?!?!
That's twice what I paid when I originally joined.
