You'd need an alternative means of making money then. Photobucket doesn't have ads (AFAIK), but offers making prints off images.

What would e.g. a "pro" subscription for an image hosting site look like, without restricting the basic functionality (upload images hassle-free, without an account, and hotlink them anywhere)?

Imgur did have a "pro" mode for a while. I was paying them $1 a month. They cancelled it at some point.

Who needs a pro mode when you have VCs paying!?

Then the VCs tell you to sell all your users to advertisers?
