Default photobucket issues

Wasn't sure where to put this but, is photobucket just a shitbucket now or what? Its been forever since I've been able to copy a link and post a pic or vid and now when I log on, the site rarely ever even works at all.

Am I the only one having this problem?

You have to pay to play now. They will be bankrupt in no time

I'm not going to go back and update my build thread using another hosting site, so that is basically dead now

This bullshit move killed millions of build threads on the internet. $20 a year, cool, hell maybe even $50, but $400!? No way

They are taking a public bashing for it also. I am sure they will be gone in no time.

3-6 months max and they'll have to close up shop or rethink their ludicrous price point.

Their CEO is out of his ******* mind thinking people are going to pay $400/year. Some of the comments that I have seen I would have to agree with as far as it being a form of extortion or ransom even.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, they are either too far gone $$ wise to make anything work and this is the beginning of the end for photobucket or they will rethink their pricing strategy.

This certainly won't help forums as a whole any since they are taking such a big hit from social media platforms.
