The Velour Fog

I used a Photobucket account a long time ago, when it was free and I was a naïve teenager. They were one of the first websites that I remembered got enshittified fast. When they started getting grabby for money in the late 2000s I moved on to another image hosting service and forgot about it for about 16 years.

Couple years ago I decided I wanted whatever I had uploaded in that account because I’m sure some of those pictures I had on it were going to be hard to find on my system or drives. Those motherfuckers wanted $8 for me to be able to access my account. Reluctantly chucked the 8 bucks at them and took my pictures off. Come to find out, I’d found some of the originals and realized Photofucket reduced the size and quality of the images uploaded on to their platform. Absolute abysmal failure of a website.
