What is everybody using now that Photobucket wants money to host pics?

WOW! They really did screw the pooch!!!
From Yahoo Finance:
well I don't have that many pics, but I'll have to find another place.Photobucket broke the news of this change to its users in about the worst way possible: by breaking links and erasing images embedded on third-party pages, both popular options when the site launched in 2003.
As irked British stamp-collecting blogger Ian Billings wrote June 30, Photobucket images embedded in a philatelic forum had all been replaced with the same thumbnail graphic of a maxed-out gauge and the caption “Please Update Your Account To Enable 3rd Party Hosting.” He labeled it “a new sort of ransom.”
The only heads-up provided to users seems to have been a cryptic June 26 post on Photobucket’s blog that said “We have updated our Terms of Service, effective June 20, 2017” and advised reviewing those new policies “as they may affect your account.”
I didn’t get an email about the new terms at either of two long-dormant Photobucket accounts. Most users seem to have been just as surprised, to judge from their outraged tweets.
The actual change was far more severe than that post’s vague phrasing would suggest. Simply linking to a Photobucket image from elsewhere would now require paying $100 a year, while embedding images on other sites would entail the $400 annual fee.
If only you belonged to a gun forum that included photo hosting as part of it's membership......

I have been using Tinypic for several years.
I was simply looking for something that was free, had simple short URLs, and that didn't put their own watermark on the photo.

It took YEARS for me to figure out how to post pics, but I use Imgur.
While no one ever listens to me,
I am constantly being told to be quiet.
