I went to use my photobucket account today and I got a lovely little message telling me to disable my adblocker or else. I am unable to log into my account and I can't even access my photos. I guess not enough people are paying for their stupid premium plans so they've resorted to locking down the accounts of long-time users until we agree to display their malware-serving, browser-freezing deluge of ads. Whatever. Hilariously enough, even when I whitelisted them just to access my content, they're STILL giving me the "turn off adblock or else" message.
I've already given a long list of reasons in other threads for why I block ads, and I refuse to uninstall my adblocking software because i consider it a security essential.
If I can get my pictures and download them, I need to find another photo hosting service that isn't run by a bunch of greedy, knuckle-dragging morons.
