#Photobucket has been holding my old photos hostage and desperately wants a ransom payment lol

The year 2006 #memories & #videogames #photobucket

Lol #Photobucket expects me to pay them a fiver to retrieve my photos that they've held on their site *FOR FREE* for over a decade.

Y'all can take your protection racket elsewhere!

A threatening email from Photobucket titled "We can't keep waiting for a response from you." The email gives me a choice to keep or delete my account. I am playing chicken with them to see how long they're willing to keep sending these emails.

#Photobucket has been threatening to delete my account for about two years now because I refuse to get a subscription. I am ignoring their increasingly desperate/threatening emails because I'm curious how long they're willing to send them before they make good on their threat.

Dear Photobucket.

Do it already.

Inside Big Tech's underground race to buy AI training data At its peak in the early 2000s, Photobucket was the world's top image-hosting site. The media backbone for once-hot services like Myspace and Friendster, it boasted 70 million users and accounted for nearly half of the U.S. online photo market.

"Photobucket declined to identify its prospective buyers, citing commercial confidentiality." #ai #tech #photobucket

Now that I look, I guess I've got a lot more work to do than I thought to clean up after the mess left by the garbage #Photobucket debacle.

#photobucket Why do you suck so much? You had to pick the absolute WORSTEST TIME to crash and burn tonight. Farging bastidges!!!
