A lot of times I come across threads that are "dead" so to speak. What happens to all the dead links and images? Where can I find them?

You probably can't. Sites that go offline and images that are deleted, well, they're gone. You could look up the address on the Internet Wayback Machine and hope they've got a back-up. Pixelation doesn't make local back-ups itself.

that's the consequence of using websites like Photobucket instead of websites like imgur

I think TinyPic died too.

Imgur will probably die one day too.

Uh oh, that's where I keep my WIPs. Well Google drive is the other one.

Everything will die. Google's services have more longevity than most, but they still shut services down all the time (also, you can't hotlink from Google Drive AFAIK). Make sure you have a local copy of anything you want to keep instead of relying on the cloud, and be prepared to reupload copies to new image hosts if you want them to stay online.
