All this was in the TOS. If people don't read them, I know they're ridiculous, that's on them. In this case ownership was clearly stated early on in the TOS. It's why I don't host pics of my children or family on there. Same w/ pics of myself. I think I've uploaded a total of two pics of myself since I started using the internet in the mid nineties.
None of the pics were lost on Photobucket. They just stopped allowing third party hosting. I used a service in the past that did shut down and I lost those pics. People that don't store pics on their physical computer are begging to lose them.
Flickr is still free and allows third party hosting. You retain more rights over the pictures. The site was designed for photographers. But the app doesn't generate links for the pics. And the workaround through a browser, in desktop mode, is cumbersome. Since most people access the internet on their phones this is a dumb decision on their part. For most people on this site it won't effect them one bit.
