Photobucket went full on photobucket. Like imgur is doing now. And like imageshack did before it. Such is the way of popular image hosting sites.

and now this happened
https://petapixel.com/2017/07/01/photobucket-just-broke-billions-photos-embedded-web/ Since 2003, the popular photo hosting service Photobucket has been letting users upload and host images for free on their servers. They have over 10 billion images stored by 100 million registered users. But now they’re going to start charging, and that means billions of images around the Web are now broken. Hotlinking (AKA inline linking) is when someone takes an image file hosted on a server and embeds it on a different webpage elsewhere. Since the new webpage continuously requests the file from the original source server, it saps the server owner’s bandwidth (and storage space). Photobucket allowed hotlinking photos uploaded to and stored on its servers for a long time. This was their business model, and they made money from ads on their own site, which users would be exposed to when they went to upload content. Unfortunately for Photobucket users, things are about to change in a big way as of June 26th. Now the service is rolling out a $399 per year subscription fee for those who want to hotlink images from Photobucket’s servers to display elsewhere. That means that billions of images across the Web now display an error message instead of the image in question. It’s not a huge surprise to see a decision like this. Advertising revenues are declining for publishers, and the costs of servers to host 10 billion images are surely incredibly high (especially when requests are made for them from all over the Web). While other free services remain, it seems fairly likely that others will follow suit and start charging for hosting files too. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

They broke direct-linking just to lead to the image page with a bunch of ads on it. Plus, their site is slow and sluggish due to all the flash shit.

Jesus, look at their plans:
- Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting. Do they want to kill their site? Because that's how you kill your site. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Imagine paying even $1 for a shitty, incredibly outdated photo hosting site like PB.
