Perhaps the reason for the policy is similar to Gmail's blocking of all binary attachements. By requiring all submissions to be photos flickr avoids a deluge of banner graphics. Try doing an image search on google for some contested keyword and you'll find ads competing with what you're looking for. Still, I'm not sure flickr checks to see that one is uploading photos. Do they personally inspect each member page?
