Screw you photobucket
« on: March 06, 2020, 08:21:15 PM »
I just logged onto photobucket for the first time in months... all my pics are blurred and have a PB watermark.
I guess I have to pay them a ransoms to get my old photos back :old:

I gave up on "photobucket of crap" years ago when they decided to charge you so that they can steal your images.
I use Flickr now, At least they don't make me pay to have my images stolen

Photobucket changed their M.O. two or three years ago.  In the process, they notified all account holders that they would have to remove their photos or pay to get the photos later.

Yeah -- and then they made it essentially impossible to delete your photos. The reason is that the terms of service give them the right to sell your images as long as the images reside on their servers. I've been trying to delete my images from Photobucket for two years. I finally gave up.

When they started charging a few years ago I made sure I had a copy of everything, deleted everything on their server, and left them with one pic: https://imgflip.com/s/meme/1950s-Middle-Finger.jpg
