Yep! I’m a wildlife photographer and would like to share some of my work but with third party hosting required I gave up years ago. I’m a member of 14 forums and this is the only one that still has to use third party hosting. After what Photobucket did to it’s users (holding photo’s hostage) I never again allowed that to happen.

I bought my own web space from Hostgator. I dump my photos there, and they are under my control. I also have my own URL. So for $100/year plus $20 or so for the URL name I do my own third party hosting.

After you post an image here, as this from Flickr,

hatsandbridge

then later delete it, it seems to remain on FR servers as this (which I just deleted after doing a preview here)
