Photobucket VS Flickr

[4is2tooMany]

I see almost everyone here is using Flickr... But after reading a couple of reviews Photobucket may be better.

Have recently used Photobucket?
Which is better?

Thanks,

A simple search turned up this recent thread. Hope this helps.

Flicker or Photobucket- Which is better?

I tried photobucket a couple weeks ago and hated it, the uploader is crap and there's too many ads, I'll never use it again. Flickr is good, if you want to pay for it, I don't like that it limits how much you can upload in a month.

I much prefer snapixel but flickr is a close second.

Photobucket = tons of ads, minimal community, no emphasis whatsoever on artistry. It's exactly what it says it is: a big bucket for photos. Great for dumping whatever odds and ends you might have that don't fit into your Flickr albums.

Flickr = a site for photographers to share, discover and discuss photos as art. Offers a lot more in-depth features to support this goal.

So to summarize... Flickr is where I put photos that I care about. Photobucket is where I put everything else.

Copied and pasted this little tidbit that I posted in the other thread I mentioned above:
