Not only are they about to enforce a 25MB monthly bandwidth on free users, but they will also be increasing the pricing of their premium plans next year:

Photobucket currently hosts over 130 million photos for over 11 million free users! Effective June 1, 2019, new hosting limits will take effect that will impact a small portion of our image hosters.
What Are the New Limits?

Free hosters will be restricted to 25MB of hosting bandwidth per month. YOUR CURRENT USAGE IS OVER 25MB PER MONTH SO THIS NEW LIMITATION WILL AFFECT YOU.
What Happens If I Go Over My Bandwidth Allowance?

Free hosters, like you, who use more than 25MB of bandwidth will have all of their hosted photos watermarked and blurred.

This is an example of a blurred and watermarked image

To restore hosting privileges and to avoid having your images blurred and watermarked after June 1, simply purchase a premium subscription plan for unlimited monthly bandwidth. Our plan pricing is the most competitive in the photo hosting industry.

Lock In Future Pricing Now

Photobucket pricing will increase in January 2020. Upgrade to a yearly plan, or a multi-year plan that will lock in your low pricing today.

Geez.

...Note, I'm aware of the irony of complaining about Photobucket while using an Imgur link.

How much does a single embedded picture take for bandwidth? (possibly dumb question)

Yeah, I posted about this a couple weeks ago. It's definitely the last gasps of a dying website that can no longer support operating costs by ad revenue alone, because nobody visits their janky old site anymore lol

Whatever its filesize is, that much for each time someone looks at it. So a 1mb picture can be viewed 25 times under their new plan.

I like how photobucket, the image hosting site, linked to another image hosting site to show an example of a blurred image.

That's actually my doing, since this is from an email I got.
