Flickr is making the biggest change yet to its service and it's set to hit free users where it hurts. 

Back in 2018 it announced that there were changes being made to the free service,  fundamental changing to how its free service works, taking away the 1TB of photo storage and limiting users to just 1000 images. This is happening 8 January - from then, users with more than 1,000 items will no longer be able to upload new photos or videos.
