I can understand Photobucket having a problem with revenues but to go from free to $399.00/year with no warning is graceless. I closed my account with little emotion. I didn't have any photos linked so I'm not one of those hard hit by the change. 

Companies that receive revenues from advertising need to lay off the constantly changing adds. Put one nicely designed add that doesn't move and doesn't consume a lot of band width. If an add changes from one to the next it should only happen when a new page is downloaded. Tracking cookies should not be allowed. The company that is supported by advertising should demand more of those who supply the adds. There is a lack of respect for those who are advertised to which is why many used add blocking.

In the event anyone is interested there are now 3rd party extensions for browsers that fix broken photobucket links.
