Flickr Charges for Video Uploads

From what I can see it appears that the most recent confused press release from Yahoo, in an article from Information Week, Yahoo Launches Video on Flickr that Flickr will take video uploads, is true; that is if you pay them $24.95 for a pro account for the year!

For anyone that uploads videos to Yahoo, navigating through the confused tangle of seemingly dead end links is more than enough. The old adage that you can't get there from here proves true on this site. The only way to access subscribers videos is through Videos.Yahoo.com. I know this may seem idiotic but after having an account there for more than a year I still have no idea how to see a producers main collection of videos. It would seem that they would at least copy one of the other video companies templates for ease of navigation. Like YouTube perhaps, Duh!

Now the idea that they are going to start a whole new service, without fixing the previous one, seems like the ship is being running by the people swabbing the decks.

It's unfortunate that the number one site in the world truly is a three ring circus.

Everyone is clothed in this video! This is rated R. I typed in "Naked Ass" on your site and this is what your search engine found. I believe these are all videos that are posted on your site, are they not?

Hi there,
your video was rejected because it pushes our limits as far as adult content goes.
there is a portion where a woman is completely topless.

There is no portion that I can see where a woman is completely topless. Which portion are you referring too?

So you are telling me this video on your site
http://revver.com/video/473444/half-naked-tits-big-boobs-hot-girl/
is approved and ours is rejected?

What do you think people are doing to that video, huh?

At least with ours they get a mouthful!
