Photobucket restores photos “taken hostage,” hopes to lure back customers with cheaper plans after l

When they first announce this idea, I said it would ruin them. I couldn't imagine how they could possibly think otherwise. I know a lot of companies are trying to do subscription services (adobe for one, ugh), but the price they came up with is just ludicrous! Before you try to charge an exuberant amount of money for a service, you might want to consider how many alternatives for users already exist. Glad to hear that CEO was canned. What an idiot.

But they're still going to need more than what they currently offer. There's plenty of free image hosting services around, so they need to come up with something extra if they expect people to pay. The way photobucket dropped this subscription services on users without warning was a borderline ransom attack I say!
