They chose this model because it is what they were already doing as smugmug (who just bought twitter). Any reasoning is just rationalization.

Smugmug bought Flickr, not Twitter.

Oops. Yeah, obviously that's what I meant. I was working on twitter scraping perl scripts at the time.

If it's a business model that worked for them with SmugMug then why not? Flickr has been decaying for years, it's about time someone turned it into a viable business again.
