The one with the least amount of advertising wins for the moment. I used to use photobucket, until it got so laden with advertisement that it would freeze my somewhat antiquated desktop pc. So, now I use imgur.com, which also has some relatively simple editing and linking features, along with a generous amount of free storage space.
Don't you guys use AdBlock???? I've been using it for years and haven't seen an ad in years, every once in awhile I'll be on someone else's computer, and they won't have it, and it's horrifying to see how many ads there are on so many sites... I'm amazed not everyone uses AdBlock, it's been around forever.... Just do a google search for it and pick the one for your browser (Firefox is the best browser but they have AdBlock for all of them)... It's free, installs super quick (it's just an Add-On to your browser), set it, forget about it... You'll never see a single ad again ever. The only time you ever have to disable it (it'll put a little red stop-sign icon on your browser menu bar for you to access their simple settings easily), is every once in awhile some pop-up functions of websites won't work if you're using AdBlock, so you just disable it for that site for that one function...
PS I use PhotoBucket and it works fine... I'm assuming it's because I'm not inundated by ads, I've never seen any ads on Photobucket, because, well... AdBlock.
