So, TinyPic is closing down this year, unable to support free hosting due to falling ad. revenues, and have a bloody cheek suggesting you go and pay on their sister site Photobucket who caused a furore when they were offering "membership" for something like $300 a year, I seem to remember.

There's a reply on that thread that recommends

imgbb.com/

but I haven't tried it so can't comment

From a tech questions site:

Who owns imgbb.com?

Imgbb.com seems like a really nice, simple image hosting site, but their 'About' page doesn't say much, and I can't find anything about it elsewhere online. Anyone know the story behind this site, or who owns it?

--

Yeah, they seem alright. I've been using them more, ever since Imgur went from being a simple image host, to whatever the hell it is now.

--

It's a Russian photo hosting site. It's their state.

... and from Wikipedia

Take care . . .

What is tinypic?

TinyPic is a photo and video sharing service, owned and operated by Photobucket.com, that allows users to upload, link and share, images and videos on the Internet.

Tinypic deletes images and videos that are not associated with a user account and that have not been viewed for 90 days. Tinypic will sometimes reuse URLs of deleted images, resulting in old image links showing unintended content.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinyPic

Photobucket is an American image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community.

As of June 30, 2017, Photobucket dropped its free hosting service, and requires a US$99 annual subscription to allow external linking to all hosted images, or a US$399 annual subscription to allow the embedding of images on third-party websites, such as personal blogs and forums. This policy change, enacted with no advance notice, has been highly controversial.

Photobucket announced a change to its Terms of Service on June 26, 2017, requiring a US$399 per year subscription fee for those who want to hotlink images from Photobucket's servers to display on other sites, a service it had previously offered for free. This change resulted in vast numbers of photos online being replaced with a graphic advising users to upgrade their account. Photobucket has received extensive criticism in response, with many charging the company with "blackmail" or "extortion", and destroying the design of many websites.
