I see Photobucket made a couple of announcements on Thursday:

PHOTOBUCKET LAUNCHES UNLIMITED 3RD PARTY HOSTING PLAN

Quote:

John Corpus, CEO of Photobucket, said that historically the company “relied heavily on advertising revenue but that major industry-wide changes in the advertising space have greatly impacted Photobucket, including the rise of ad blockers and the Company’s explosion of 3rd party hosting that generates zero revenue.”

“This model is no longer sustainable,” Corpus added.

and this one...

Please review the latest changes at Photobucket.

includes this point:

What users are affected by the changes to our 3rd Party Hosting policies?

Moving forward, new and legacy free account users will NOT have third party hosting available.

If you were a Plus Account subscriber in good standing as of June 1, 2017, you will continue to have all the privileges you have enjoyed including 3rd Party Hosting until December 31, 2018 as long as you maintain your subscription.

So I guess Peter J and anyone else with a subscription can look forward to 18 months of continued image hosting.
