The problem is that Photobucket now requires one to pay for third party hosting.

Haha, welcome to irrelevance, Photobucket. The pricing is hilarious.

No way anyone's paying to host their images. Photobucket clearly became greedy and will die for it.

Not that kind of money, anyways. For the typical user, $40/year would be laughable, $40/month is a message: "we don't want to be in that business any longer".

Well, I'm on Imgur now.

Though I should probably save some important images from photobucket since that site is going down fast.

I'm  still using dropbox for most things.  They've disabled the hotlinking interface, but you can get around that with a url hack (below).  Other than that, there's a 10 GB/ month traffic limit, so I use it sparingly.  The nice thing about dropbox is that it's an https server, so you can hotlink animated gifs and they display properly.

Code:
To hotlink files from dropbox, create a link and copy it.  That results in a url like the following:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfphtxu0ypkfwfd/constantine.jpg?dl=0

Remove the garbage at the end and change www.dropbox to dl.dropboxusercontent, resulting in the following:
