recommend photo hosting?

[cos]

Yahoo's mistreatment of flickr has been annoying me at a low level for a while, but I'm still using flickr out of inertia, even though I hate yahoo. I think my inertia just got a kick:

Hey cospics! About your photos...

You've run into one of the limits of a free account. Your free account will only display the most recent 200 photos you've uploaded. All of your photos beyond 200 will remain hidden from view until you either delete newer photos, or upgrade to a Pro account.

None of your photos have been deleted, and if you upgrade, they'll all come back unharmed.

Looking at the "limits of a free account" page, I also see this: "If your free account is inactive for 90 consecutive days, it will be deleted."

In other words, if I wanna stay with flickr, I'd better pay Yahoo. Yuck. So tell me what other photo hosting sites are good, ones I won't feel dirty giving money to. Snapfish? Photobucket? What do you use and what do you think of it?

EDIT - I want:

• Raw linking for hosting photos for posts elsewhere
• Tagging, and easy URLs for tag sets
• Automatically generated resized images & flexible thumnail views
• ... a Facebook app would be nice too

I don't care much about weekly / monthly upload limits: I don't post enough photos for it to matter. A more localized rate-limit could be a problem, because I might upload all my photos in a particular month in one evening.

I believe that those "limits of a free account" bits were there before the Yahoo purchase. At least, I am certain that the most-recent-200-ish photos aspect was always a limitation with the free accounts. That isn't something Yahoo imposed.

What do you hate about Yahoo, by the way?

Snapfish seems pretty good if your end goal is letting people see photos that they likely will buy physical prints of -- but it's very much not set up to be a good general-purpose photo sharing site.

That may be true, but when I first signed up I probably thought if I liked it I'd eventually pay for it. I've been putting that off because Yahoo bought them, but now I've got the kick to stop putting it off and I'd rather move.

No time now to go into a survey of all the things I hate about Yahoo :) I do, however, intend to remain Yahoo-account-free, and they're slowly making it less doable to remain a flickr user while doing that (just this weekend, for example, I found that you can no longer access flickr mobile with a flickr login, you need a yahoo login).
