Shout out to Flickr! No matter how many gigabytes you had uploaded, you can still access them. You just can’t upload more without a Flickr Pro plan.

No, because I am dealing with this right now. I stopped paying for Flickr Pro after 20+ years and can only download my photos in bulk as 1024px resolution in order to get back under the free plan limits unless I pay for Flickr Pro… which is $82/year. My photos are held hostage unless I pay.
Have you tried this?
"if you ever need a copy of your data, members can always request and download their content, including original files, through the Flickr Data section of your settings."
Is this still true? I am a Flickr Pro user and the few times I've let my subscription lapse, I recall that I could only see my most recent 200 uploaded photos until I paid up again. They didn't delete them, for sure! But they were inaccessible.
...or $11 for a month, and you can cancel it? Where do people think the money comes from to store gigs and gigs of photos literally forever?
Keep in mind that this is a brand which has offered 1TB free in the past. They kinda only have themselves to blame for any minimum-price assumptions.
I suppose, but that "brand" was owned by many different people, and the current one has very little to do with whatever people did in the past. At a certain point, one should at minimum back up all one's stuff when ownership changes, just in case the ZIRP economics don't exist to float those AWS bills anymore.
