A lot goes in to making a bottle of wine though. Whereas the image site are having to do the square root of jack shit to get your 40 bucks.

If Photobucket had said to everyone five bucks for the year shedloads of people would have paid it. Asking for a stupid amount means no-one will. Anyone using it for professional purposes will already have a pay account. All they have done is lose themselves hundreds of thousands of casual users for no gain. No-one left to read their ads, or to purchase their valued addeds. Really poor business decision in my book.
