The only possible problem might be if you wanted to download all your pics at once (or a lot of them). I am not sure how well that function works. They've also introduced video storage as well. The stats aren't very detailed, but that is not why I have it anyway. Well,

I still don't upload enormous sets of 2-3MB images, I still shrink them a bit unless I have a good reason to go for full size images. I'm certain I'd be far beyond the non-paid upload limit each month, but were I uploading only say 1024x768 images, it might be possible to control uploading enough to remain within the limit. I guess the cap is only as daunting as the amount of uploading you could potential use. If having no limit blows the doors open for you to go nuts, then it's worth a paid account. The added feature for organizing - sets and collections - very, very helpful. I think they could work on their fundamental organizing structure a bit more, but having limitless photo sets is definitely a Good Thing. I'm not sure what else is paid-only, but mobile uploads, and other custom features are nice pluses too. *shrug* Not sure. I have paid LJ and Flickr accounts... flickr actually because Yahoo now owns Rogers, my ISP. :) I think basically, it's worth a paid account if you use flickr for your photos, and do a lot of photos :). But I don't use it so much that it's my primary storage for all my raw, full-size JPGs, even though it's unlimited. That just seems excessive. personally, I love the flexibility and limitlessness of a paid account… but I haven’t been unpaid for long enough to forget really the differences :).
