Yahoo! pushes me to taste the competitors

I always liked Yahoo! products; the search directory, the portal, Yahoo! answers, Flickr, Y! mail, I seem they were outstanding products, and I think some of them still are the best in their category. But it is clear to me that this company it not living the best moment. I supposed that the rumors of selling to Microsoft and the subsequent trouble with their shareholders shouldn't affect the users. But as a user, I have been seeing some policies that are not helping the growth of the company; in fact, they are doing the opposite.
I will show here two examples that I experienced by myself in the latest days.
I have all my domain administration centralized on Yahoo! Domains. Some days ago, Yahoo! announced an increase in the domain renewal price, from 12 to 34 USD. Is obvious that no one expects that a service triples its prices, specially when is easy to find competitors offering the same service in the range of 9 to 11 dollars.
Well, maybe this is not the Yahoo! focus and they decided to get the most from this tool, I thought. And in fact from this perspective could sound logic, and do not wake up my attention.
But I decided to write this posts when today I tried to upload a new photo album to Flickr, a tool that I think is outstanding. Suddenly I realized that I have a three albums limit, and if I wanted more I needed to pay 25 dollars per year to get the upgrade. It is not much, of course, but with Picasa from Google I can get it for free. Even when Flickr has some advantages as the ability to post pictures with a phone or a 100MB space increase per month, I don't want to pay for a service like this. And regarding the increase in Yahoo! Domains service, I don't want to have the prices tripled next year in Flickr too, having to move all my pictures to somewhere else as I will do with my domains.
Then my first reaction was to move away from Yahoo! Domains and Flickr to the products from their competitors, even when I like both Yahoo! services a lot.
Curiously this "push" didn't start because these services didn't satisfy my needs or because I found better products. I received the push from Yahoo! when they tried to charge things that I can find somewhere else for much less or even for free.
It's a pity...
