Every photo I share on FM proves this is wrong.
In fact, posting only the URL is the preferred method these days because it’s the only way to post a responsive photo that doesn’t stretch anybody’s screen horizontally.
You have to click the "download" button on a flickr image, view all sizes, click on an appropriately sized option, right click the image that loads, and copy the image url ("copy image address" in chrome).

To the best of my knowledge the “URL ending in jpg” method does not work for Flickr-hosted images. If I’m wrong, I’ll be happy to see the explanation of how to do that with Flickr images.
