We Say NO to Videos on Flickr

1. Yahoo! will spend money and engineering time on this, rather than adding features to the Photo capabilities of the site.

2. Videos will use much more bandwidth, raising the costs to run the site, and necessitating more (and more intrusive) advertisements to make up for the higher expense.

Really, every downside will be some variation of concern #1.
 
I've noticed a lot of photography related videos on flickr. Slideshows, time-lapse photography, instructional photography videos etc

It might not be so bad
 
its a photo site its about art and more..video will just bring a lot of distractions it will bring all kind of worthless videos of fights wrestling driving and more bs
 
Oh bovine excrement, there are already a million garbage photos on Flickr of people doing the same things you don't want to see videos of them performing. I'm glad you have a cause to defend... but it sure is a silly one. Unless you are actually paying them for the service, they can do whatever they want. You deal with it, or you don't.

If you don't like the way Flickr is run, buy lots of Yahoo stock and make you voice heard.

I have a Flickr Pro account, a Photobucket account, and more on Picasa. If you don't like Flickr, there are many other places on the net to park you pics.

Why is it about art? It's a photohosting site, not an art critique site - it has all sorts of photographs (including "bs").

if you think it's all about art. ;)

btw, being rude doesn't win support. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and call you passionate about your cause.

Of course, gasoline prices are partially to blame for the rising food prices, since high fuel prices 1) encourage farmers to plant more corn for processing as ethanol rather than grains for food, and 2) drive up transportation costs.
