Flickr periodically changes the URL for download, so eventually all Flickr embeds end up as broken as any other shit pix host.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with what Yahoo turned Flickr into -
but it's a free image host, that actually gives you a link to an uncompressed .jpg of your photo¹.Where have you heard that they change the URLs?
I have just checked posts I made on this fine forum 8 months ago, embedding pics hosted on flickr, they all show up just fine..
¯_(ツ)_/¯¹
I do agree that the dance you have to do to actually get to that fucking URL is ridiculous though.

I've seen it happen. I don't know whether it's a policy to deliberately break embeds or just random housekeeping that moves resources from one farm to another, but it happens.
As I've said a hundred times before, the way to put images on LFGSS is to use either the LFGSS server or your own. Yes, the attachment device sucks (although it has been pretty good to me using drag-and-drop on Firefox), but at least you can have some confidence that if the post is still there, so will be the pictures.

Yes, if you want your pix to be displayed temporarily. Flickr periodically changes the URL for download, so eventually all Flickr embeds end up as broken as any other shit pix host.
