what happened to all the free photo hosting on the internet?

i used to be able to host as many pictures on yahoo as i wanted, but they teamed up with flickr, which i didn't think was a problem until they told me i had too many pictures and i can only have 200 at a time. um, lame. well, i could pay $25 a month for more storage. no.
so people keep telling me about picasa and how it's so great, so i'm trying that, but not only is it really slow, but i only get 1024MB, which i know is a lot, but i take a LOT of pictures. and i like to share them. as of now, i have a lot of them on facebook, which will probably start imposing a limit on me sometime soon. Photobucket gives me up to a GB, which is really nice of them.

no more unlimited free places though. damn consumerism and people's want of money all the time.
