PhotobucketReviews 211

I used to upload all my images to them. Now I can hardly log on, and I have to sit through so many ads it's criminal. There is not a heavier advertised site on any website on the entire internet. Adblock says there are between 97 and 450 ads on each screen refresh. It is absolutely criminal. Now I am performing the tedious task of downloading photos one at a time so I can put them on Imgur. Screw you photobucket. Go out of business already.

Go $#*! yourself with a rusty barbed wire wrap mother $#*!ing cactus!
I have been with you $#*! sticks for now 13 years and all of my pictures on all the forums have been pulled down due to some god damned bull$#*! called 3rd Party Hosting! Suck my BALLS!

I have several build threads... why have you asswipes chosen to do this?! What $#*!ing good are they if you cant use the god damned pictures you uploaded to your bull$#*! $#*!ing website that is littered with bull$#*! ads anyhow?
Oh yeah I can get it back for $399 a $#*!ing year billed annually, it used to be 3.99 monthy and that was easier to do... NO $#*! you! So $#*! you and tell your liberal communist $#*!ing bosses to go $#*! there asses with thier own fists!

Like thousands of other people, I have been using Photobucket for years (since 2006) and recently received a notice from them that I could no longer use their site for 3rd party hosting. While I don't like or agree with this policy change, I understood they had a right to do it. What was unethical about this decision is that Photobucket not only removed my photos from many of my 254 eBay items in my eBay store(they were in the middle of removing all of them), they went into my eBay listing template and removed the photo reference info so that I could not find the photos in my Documents list. This made it extremely difficult for me to change the listing on my items (so as not to use Photobucket at all). While I can understand removing the photo, I think what they did in removing the photo reference (like "img 208") was mean spirited and unethical. I advise everyone to stay away from Photobucket since you cannot trust what they will do; I hope reviews like this one exposing what they are really like will keep people from being harmed by this unethical company.

My adblocker managed to block 253 ads and other Photobucket malware in 4 minutes. I just couldn't believe my eyes. This is beyond disgusting. I had a link from someone who was selling a car and had the photo album on Malwarebucket. It crashed my browser several times I had to add their website to my block list. Totally useless and malicious. Stay away! It was "okay" in 2015. Now it's just a piece of garbage. I'm sorry.

Photobucket used to be a place where old MySpace people could go to host their photos and in order to use HTML to link their backgrounds and such to it. More than just MySpace though! They were a great free site to host photos for personal websites and similar. Now they took an upgrade ad and put it in place of all my photos that tells me that I need to pay nearly $400.00/year to use their services any longer. I pay less than that for Netflix and Hulu each year and they give me unlimited access to videos. Not to mention... why wouldn't you use Google Pics (Right Click - Copy Link Location) to embed it with HTML code yourself? I mean most people can just look up how and do it in 5 minutes. So all my photos are inaccessible after a decade and a half of loyalty to them for photo hosting.

I trusted photobucket as a place to back up my photos, over 75,000 of them. I went to their site wanting to see a certain photo when I was informed I could not see any of my photos until I increased my membership. I then decided that I would pay it and then move all my photos. They have made it as difficult as possible so that you will spend the $400 to share your photos. They do not let you download entire photo albums just one photo at a time. Imagine how long this would take to download 75,000 photos! I like many others have been using photobucket for over 10 years and it is nothing like it was. Stay away!

I have hundreds of pictures on Photobucket. I haven't been on it in a year or so because I began uploading my pics to my Google Drive instead. Today I logged on to Photobucket to move those pics to my Drive and not only is it impossible to do, there are NON STOP POP UP ADS no matter what I try to do! God forbid you change what you're working on, because several more tabs pop up, no matter what my internet settings say. Awful. Just... so so bad.

I just deleted my account with Photobucket.com, after 10 years of use. They USED TO BE GREAT, but now, for whatever reason, they have become one of-inf not -the WORST photo host website I've ever used! Pop-ups galore; 3 have to be clicked, and or closed before even being granted access to my account, and all of the pop -ups are garbage, and/or disgusting clickbait images. I just spent hours removing all of my photos, and transferring them to my computer. I will never do that again... and I will NEVER use Photobucket.com ever again either. Lagging, full of pop-ups, and now demanding money to share MY images that are on their website? I don't pay to image share... especially to a website that once claimed to be a FREE -photo hosting site. Bye, Photo-f*** it!

When it first began, it was simple then gradually got more complicated, then forced videos on you and if you do not have or want shockwave on your pc you end up freezing lots of times. Just today it took over half an hour to upload a single photo and then after doing it I discovered the image wasn't appearing on a third party website. Then another discovery - I'd have to pay $400 per year to enable that. I understand the stock market is 4X overpriced and diligent investors who are compelled to short sell the big fat ugly bubble (in Trump's own words before he flip-flopped to destroy this country, see trump-fraud.blogspot.com) so that a FEW people are loaded with money on the backs of everyone else, but this $400 is way too high for most people to afford. I wouldn't even pay $10 per year for it.

Trust me - find another image hosting site. This one is going down.

Years of helping people with images across many forums gone overnight. Hijacked and held for ransom. Pay or nobody sees your photos. I'll be honest, it would not have bothered me so much if they actually made it reasonable cost but to shut it down and demand a ridiculous amount to use was absurd. Then to top it off the ability to pull your photos off their site does not work so you have to download one by one. After 4 hours I was able to recover 1201 photos. Closed my account and moved on. Here's to hoping Photobucket closes its doors forever. Wishing them the worst.

They shut all of my images on my website without any notification. Not an email or nothing, I was not given the opportunity to even ponder their blackmail demands of upgrading my service and paying them $400.00 per year for off-site image hosting. They replaced all of my website images with their reminder to contact them and pay up if I wanted to continue using their service. Upon seeing the having they caused on my own site I decided immediately that I would not cave in to this blackmail manuver by them. I immediately went to their site and fought their ads to retrieve all my images. This process was tedious and took over a full 24 hour day to accomplish. I finally got all of my images retrieved and in a folder on my computer. I went to another image site that I also had images stored on, www.postimge.org and uploaded my images that were previously on Photobucket. The image site at www.postimage.org does not have a single ad on their site and the site is very guick to navigate. It did not take a great deal of time to upload my images.
I then undertook to the process of reconstructing my website and modifying the code on my website pages to reflect the new location of the images. This was the most lengthy part of the whole process which I just finished. I now have to FTP upload the revised pages to my website hosts server, this can be done in a matter of minutes. I was not going to hold still for their thug like tactics and be blackmailed into giving them $400.00. My website is non profit with absolutely no popup ads or advertising of any sort of it. I have always borne the cost of the website out of my own pocket and have never profited in any manner or received a single cent for anything connected with my site as long as I have had the website in operation for a period of many years.
I refused to be intimidated by these thuggish tactics by the people at Photo bucket and did what was necessary and took the bull by the horn with my own hands. I venture their little ploy is going to cost them a lot more money just from users fleeing their service that they thought they were going to make.
