venusfly 17,885 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 What on earth? Why would a dying service impose such a ginormous cost for something so basic? There's millions of services that allow you to embed for free, Imgur being the most notable. What kind of backwards universe is this where you gain on your competition by increasing your prices It's not really ransom though, people should have copies of their images on their own computers and they can easily be uploaded elsewhere, the joke is on Photobucket.

RAMROD 116,988 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 "The photo hosting site was popular in the early and mid aughts, and was the service of choice for Myspace users. Since that site's decline, Photobucket has become infinitely less important to most people on the internet, who no longer have the need for web-based photo storage. " These lines true to me lmao, I was using their service because of convenience that I don't have with Imageshack and Tinypic at that time. There were only those 3 websites that people uses to upload images for their myspace. There's flickr too but people that era not really into photography like they did now with instagram, which makes flickr as way more serious photography site anyway (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ᶠʳᵒⁿᵗ ᵗᵒʷᵃʳᵈ ᵉⁿᵉᵐʸ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uo111 5,282 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I would like to get inside the head of whoever at Photobucket thought this was a good idea. They could be president of the US, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey 3,017 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 As far as I can tell, they aren't 'holding photos for ransom', they're holding hotlinking for ransom. Also, my photos seem to work, for the moment. Can anyone see this image? "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.
