Subscription payment issues
Subscription payment issues
PriceAs someone who used to be a customer, I keep getting charged even though I have cancelled my account several times. The website doesn't make it simple to get rid of payment methods or check the ones that are already there. It's really disappointing to see how this service, which used to be awesome, has now become a place that seems shady. Trying to cancel is a headache because it leads you through a bunch of steps only to bring you back to the beginning, like there's no escape.
Free uploads turned into paywall

PriceThey used to be free, but now they're asking for money, eh! They keep sending threatening emails about deleting my pics unless I pay up. No warning beforehand and now they're acting like mobsters. I unsubscribed from their spammy emails, they can delete my pics for all I care, eh!
Online photo hosting
Online photo hosting
PriceI used to use this site for hosting images for my online listings, but then they changed things up on me and started holding my photos ransom until I coughed up some cash for a subscription. It's pretty disappointing that they would pull a move like that just to make a buck. I decided to switch over to a different service and I've been way more satisfied ever since.
Picture retrieval service
Picture retrieval service
PriceI was trying to get back some old photos from a website I used way back in the early 2000s. They kept bugging me with emails saying they were gonna delete my account, so I had to do something about it. I checked out what was going on with the company now and read some pretty worrying reviews. I wasn't too sure about paying $5 for a month of service, 'cause I wasn't sure if I'd even find the pics I wanted. Plus, I was worried I wouldn't be able to cancel the subscription and they'd keep charging me.
About Photobucket
Photobucket is an American image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community dedicated to preserving and sharing the entire photo and video lifecycle. Founded in 2003 by Alex Welch and Darren Crystal in Denver, Colorado, Photobucket provides its users with an interface to upload, share, link, and find photos, videos, and graphics. The service allows users to store thousands of digital images and videos for free, supporting widespread sharing across the internet, including on social media platforms and blogs. Over the years, Photobucket has undergone several changes in ownership and business models, including introducing a controversial pricing model in 2017 that restricted image linking and hosting for third-party websites without a substantial fee, which was widely criticized and subsequently dialed back. As of my last knowledge update, Photobucket continues to serve as a repository for millions of users' photos and videos, despite facing challenges from newer, more flexible image-sharing services.
