Basically, photobucket is now useless for linking.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Cut all ties and don't pay 'em a dime! Host your pics on your device, dropbox or google drive. Upload them to postimage when you need a host.

It's kind of cute that photobucket thinks their service is worth that much.

Bandwidth is expensive so I understand that but $400 a year is a bit much.  And they aren't that useful.
