I don't have any pics there I'd mind losing, but for those who do, how is this not extortion?

7 days is really stingy, though! Especially for a service that hasn't really improved since I signed up for permanently free account last decade or the one before that..
You never signed up for a permanently free account. You signed up for a free at that time account. That has now changed.
While technically true, that's still not the agreement I signed up for and I never agreed to any updated terms and conditions since then. Granted, that last part is probably because I haven't used Photobucket since some white dude from Detroit was the best selling rapper in the world 😁
You can’t use the site without agreeing to the new T&Cs, your payment to them and réactivation is considered agreement to the new T&Cs even if there isn’t a checkbox during that process although there likely is. The T&Cs you agreed to 15 years ago likely had a clause stating they could change it unilaterally at any time
7 days is enough to get your files off
True, I guess 🤷
