by selling itself to Yahoo, silly.

They sell quite a few pro memberships.

I thought they didn't...or was that Youtube?

dangrsmind

dangrsmind I also think they sell plenty of pro memberships, not sure what their cost structure is though

I forgot all about that, and I have a pro account.

it just seems like pro accounts arent very expensive and the math on that is weak for a big company. and yahoo isnt in great shape either

there must be revenue from ads that display on regular members' photo pages.

yeah, I'm guessing that's it. but Yahoo prolly buys ad packages, and who clicks ads?

with Firefox and AdBlock, who even *sees* ads anymore?

The majority of surfers who don't use FireFox perhaps....

anyone with att at home has a pro account at Flickr (actually 6 orso) they must have adeal with att
