Don’t Email Me to “Revisit My Memories” If I Can’t Access Them

I created my account over a decade ago when Photobucket offered free photo storage. After receiving repeated emails encouraging me to log in and revisit my old memories, I downloaded the app only to discover that I cannot access my own photos unless I pay for a subscription. Locking users out of their personal files after storing them for years feels extremely misleading and unethical. If you are going to advertise that you’ve been “keeping our photos safe,” at the very least, users should be able to access and download their own content without being forced into a paid plan. Very disappointing experience.

Scam

Started using some 15 years ago. Now it's impossible to log in but they still charge monthly. Support is paid to drive you insane and refuse to help.

Dreadful!

Latest update is just a clumsy attempt at getting subscriptions!
What about the free account? What about ordering a photobook?
Another greedy American company that doesn’t deserve my money or time!
