As I mentioned in another comment thread (is that the term used here?) about this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18354066), I can understand why they want to limit the free service, the only thing that makes me a bit concerned is the fact that they want to delete images over the limit, rather than not allowing new uploads or freezing accounts for existing accounts which will go over the new limit. I just get worried when stuff on the public Internet is deleted in cases like these.

The uploader then doesn’t worry, Flickr doesn’t worry. The internet archive might, just like you. Maybe you can help out over there?

The uploader can't do anything short of paying money to keep the images up. They could move them, but that is still link rot.

I would help with archiving stuff, but I don't have the resources unfortunately. All I can do is not delete my downloads folder, so incase the a site goes down, I still have a copy of the stuff I downloaded earlier, which is better than nothing, I hope.
