depends who youre playing against. Youre decreasing the pot odds you are getting for drawing to your flush but you are adding a possibility that you may not need to hit your flush to win (if everyone folds). You are also making sure the pot you take down if you hit is bigger which potentially boosts your implied odds.
If you are playing against passive calling stations then betting the flop is usually terrible since they will check if you check but will call later on when you bet (after you hit).
If you are playing in a fairly shorthanded pot with weak tight players (that just could well fold) then a semibluff might be the right way to go about it. In this case the profit comes from them folding rather than you hitting. Your flush is just backup incase you have misjudged the situation.
p.s. you know all this already
