There have been a lot of rumblings lately in the SL Flickr community that Flickr has started aggressively enforcing not allowing advertising, or even links to advertising, on posts from free accounts. It has no such restrictions on Pro accounts.
Predictably, this is not going over well. While I think if you are using Flickr to promote your business, it is not unreasonable to expect you to have a Pro account to do so. While the value of a Pro account can be argued, as far as image hosting goes, it is pretty reasonable. While I am sure some will fracture off to Facebook or Instagram or elsewhere, no other site has the cohesive feed and group features that Flickr has - and other sites do not allow nudity generally, which Flickr does.
