afaik it's mostly just bad practice & how if you hotlink to someone, they may change their file structure and suddenly your images are broken more so than it being a genuine leech of bandwidth.
what the above person said - i'd rather people not hotlink my site button in case i end up revamping my site and it breaks the image URL.
Yeah, seconding all that. Some people also encourage you to hotline their image when they are more confident in their file structure and like changing their buttons or adoptables. It also allows them to define what information they would want to attach to their link (like an alt description). I also would take a current hotlink over a future deadlink, so seeing a missing image helps me take not of shutdowns.
