    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 😂

      Textbook shooting yourself in the foot, I really don’t know what they were hoping to gain. You already had a long-lasting reputation in the online community, now you’re a fucking scab

        They weren’t gaining anything with the free service, now they might get a bit of money from it.

        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 would hardly consider ‘power users’ the ones who download via the API. I used to download them via BSPlayer, where it will prompt you in a nice user friendly interface if you needed subtitles for whatever you were watching. Well, that used the old OpenSubtitles API, and now that it’s gone it’s not gonna work anymore
