Cons
Con Horrible bloated mess
It was originally made by a redditor because reddit's own image hosting was too cumbersome and slow. It was fast and lightweight. Drag an image, get a link to the image, there was nothing else no comments no cats popping up on the screen. Now it's basically its own social platform.
Con Can't upload multiple photos at once
The Photobucket app allows users to attempt to upload multiple photos, more it will often crash during the upload.
