So... Photobucket Sucks!

I came here this morning to add a new post about my trip to California and discovered all my photos stored on Photobucket now cannot be viewed outside of that application. Suddenly, you have to upgrade to use 3rd party hosting. Okay, I thought. It's a pain in the ass, but I have used Photobucket for years and they have reams of my personal photos. Whatever.

The price for using the same service I have used free for over a decade? $400/year!!!

Thanks, Photobucket, for holding my pictures hostage, but no thanks. Had the price been more reasonable, I would have begrudgingly paid it. Eff off. Now, I'm looking for another resource.

P.S. I used to upload my photos directly to Blogspot, I mean Blogger. But those get deleted after some time. As a result, many of my oldest posts don't have photos, either. Huzzah. Since no one really reads this thing, maybe I should just call it a day and abandon the damn thing.
