Default Will Tiny Pics follow the Photo bucket extortion thing?
I'm had no problems with the old tiny pics, but they are owned by the bucket. What's up with that? Tiny is still free hosting for pics.

I use that most of the time, in fact I rarely go to tiny pics, but it's still there and free. I've saved all the pics from there just in case as well.
Just curious about why they haven't started charging there as well....

Certainly possible. I would never rely on free services for anything.
Use it while it's free, sure, but always keep your own stuff saved and definitely don't fall into the trap of relying on those services.

Wait until Fecesbook and Windows migrate to subscription models, that day is coming too.

Yeh, no doubt, thought of that myself too.....I would THINK that Windoze has enuff money from the .gov to be happy enough, but then again, it IS Gates and company...he needs another yacht.....

FB is the only contact I have with my grandkids.....visual that is....

How much does Photobucket currently charge for its upgraded subscriptions?

You can download the photos from your account.

Not sure how this qualifies as extortion.

It is actually $399 a year to be able to 3rd party link. You can still get a free account though to upload photos to and then watch all their ads cover them up.

I already closed my account there. Fvck them. I decided to try Flickr which is free.
I'm also ready to say fvkc Microsoft. Typing this message, I'm using Linux Mint 18.2. I've been using it for 3 months now and it works great. I have a free Linux program called "firejail" that puts the 2 browsers FireFox and Chrome in a sandbox so I don't have to worry about any drive-by. I don't have any AV since you don't need it with Linux.
