Wow, I've been using them for like 15yrs. Good thing this site and FB allow direct uploads, so I really haven't been using it much anymore. Perhaps that's why they're trying to charge those who are still using it. People may be leaving. I for one can't really use it anyways with all their ads. For whatever reason, my computers lag horribly there.

Man, if Imgur follows the same terms as PB, a lot of people will be screwed. 
I dont use PB anymore either because it's just bloated with ads and a ton of crap. Even on the fastest computers, PB slows things way down.

If they break links to huge retail outlets, that's probably good business.
If they break links to blogs and internet fora, that's a dick move. If they want to knock their stock price down because nobody uses their service (and then an insider can buy it for cheap), this is the way to do it.
