Again, they are a business,and they're gonna advertise what they can do for you, not how they can limit/stifle/cut back the overall service.
That kind of thing is always reserved for the small print - or the FAQ in this case. Every reasonable size business does it.
If they said, 'get a free account with 200 pics' the first thing most people would do is google for a site that had a higher number or unlimited uploads,
thus doing flickr out of potential business. I agree that it would be 'nice' of them to do it, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it :)

That's what Rob said.If the annoying part was written out in big red letters and highlighted in yellow, people would be warned away from flickr. Of course we can't expect them to advertise it like that, it would be bad for business - except that keeping this stuff in the small print makes them slightly arsey, and having it pointed out that they are slightly arsey is potentially worse for business, depending on whether the idea "flickr are slightly arsey" catches on or not. Which is isn't doing in this thread, I must admit.
