I don't know about the new changes but even several years ago they started throttling your sharing abilities based on bandwidth usage. Let's say you make a thread with 20 photos and it gets viewed quite a bit, eventually you'll hit a threshold where Photobucket will disable any hosted photos for the remainder of the month. At least that's how they used to do it. That alone was enough of a pain to make me move my stuff somewhere else.
Oh, and 2gb fills up fast. A cellphone photo may only be 1-2mb so that's 1000-2000 photos, not bad. However, if you start using cameras that create bigger files, you are only talking 100-200 photos. Some of my photo albums from some trips are easily 500-1000 photos. I probably have 1tb of photos on my PC even. It just adds up quickly.
