IDK, if I was contributing subtitles for an open provider free of charge who shared them free of charge, I’d be glad my subtitles were helping people who needed them. Now that labor has been turned into capital and that rug has been pulled with no back-dated compensation or provisions for free subtitles for hard of hearing or something. It’s a shitty move across the board for everyone but the owner.
I’m actually faulting them for trying to make money off a crowdsourced service. They didn’t write the damn subtitles.
Also, wrong fucking audience. The people using this are pirating… what do they think is going to happen when they put a paywall in front 😂

The uploaders often get VIP for free and what will happen is probably just good for them. Leechers aren’t the greatest for torrents nor services.
I pay for it, because it’s cheap and I might as well.

The subs are still free for casual users the ones that need to pay are power users that download through the API.
The API users won’t upload subs or anything, website users are more likely to do that.
I doubt I will switch provider because they seem to be the best by far and I download 1-2 files per movie/series automatically via Bazarr.
If anyone knows any non shit options please tell me.
