Bandwidth is cheap nowadays, few are the webmasters enabling anti-hotlinking to save bandwidth.

I use anti-hotlinking not to save bandwidth but to preserve server resources that would otherwise get tied up answering HTTP requests that are better reserved for my actual visitors. When they realize the hotlink doesn't work they go looking for an image elsewhere.
